Perkiomen Creek, the chapter's namesake is the main focus of the restoration efforts at the chapter, in an attempt to extend a growing wild trout population.

By working with landowners, state and local leaders, and other state organizations, Perkiomen Valley Trout Unlimited has had great of success in restoring key tributaries of the Perkiomen, through several miles of tree plantings, streambank restoration and structure, educating communities and landowners on best land management practices.

Now comprised of about 200 members the chapter is working hard to complete the major work of restoring stream banks and water quality. Water quality has already improved enough in the main branch that a noticeable difference has been recorded in the water quality of the Green Lane Reservoir.

The chapter has a fund raising raffle underway to support local Trout in the Class and stream restoration efforts. Details for the the raffle and prizes can be found on the Perkiomen Valley Trout Unlimited website.


Membership Meetings - Perkiomen Valley Trout Unlimited general Membership Meetings are held every 3rd Monday of the month between the months of September and May, starting at 7:30pm in the Upper Perkiomen Valley Free Library Community Room at the Upper Perkiomen Valley Library 350 Main Street Red Hill, PA 18076.

I drive an 06 Jeep Wrangler that I love. I am however getting rid of it in a few months and will buy a small compact car to cut down on costs. It saddens me...

Honda Element: AWD. Clearance for fire trails. Rubber maid interior just mops out. Waterproof, stain and mud resistant seating. All four seats turn into one big bed. Real tailgate acts as a seat to put on waders. Flat cargo floor. Rear seats snap to the sides, or just come out for massive room. More rear legroom than any other car that's not a Maybach. Unpainted fenders don't scratch on brush-covered trails. 26mpg.

Sure, it might be an ugly box, but function over form. This is the ultimate utility car.

I drive an old Explorer. My need to get a newer, more fuel efficient car in the near future, but I love the room it has.

I don't know why I am a little surprised at the numbers on the pick-ups.

Had a pick up for years... sold mine about 6 years ago. I have a full size sedan now. Audi A6 quattro. Good car, paid for, AWD, fold down back seats so I can keep the fly rod long and just feed it through while going between streams. It gets me between streams pretty quick too.

What are the people under the "other" category driving? Helicopters? Seems to me like all the options are covered without the "other", yet there are a few people that voted that way.
Care to fill me in?

Just guessing, but bicycle and skateboard could be considered "other"

I have a 10 year old ranger with a 7 foot bed. It's served me well - I have no problem sleeping in it. But it's not very efficient.
Will likely be my last pickup though.

Gfen - Do you sleep in that element? I looked at one about a year ago. And even when all 4 seats are folded down, it looked very uneven to be comfortable as a bed.

I drove a pickup for a few years. Due to costs, we bought a car, but was going to keep the pickup and just demote it to hunting/fishing/camping duty only, as in the places I drive a car would have to be towed out.

About a week after buying the car, my pickup broke down. $2000 for repairs on a truck where the blue book value was about the same, and I could get $4500 out of it under cash for clunkers. Gave the new car to my wife, traded in her old car and got cash for my clunker pickup (thanks taxpayers!).

I bought a 2010 Subaru Forester, which is now what I drive. I didn't want to test it in deer season. These roads aren't plowed or salted, and the traffic beats the snow into a sheet of ice, with ditches on both sides. No vehicle stays out of the ditches, the key is in being able to get them out. Need a 4x4, not AWD. Needs more clearance. And needs recovery hooks so you can use a winch to pull it out. My family has trucks though. No reason for us all to drive trucks for that reason only!

With the exception of that one week, the Subaru does everything else I need it to better than the truck, and better mileage to boot. So far I'm very happy with it.

I drive a Van, good for fishing and camping. I put down the third seat, have plenty of room for the gear. Lots of room for the dogs when we go camping!

PaulG,

same good things about the van & suburban. Is it a full size or mini-van. My wife would never let me drive a van, says I am not a "van guy" whatever the hell that means!

I've napped in it over a lunch break or two, but never camped in it.

Most people actually flip the seats up to the sides (like an old style ambulance) or take them out and either have a platform off the floor, or put an airmattress right onto the floor.

Or, if you've got the money:

My main vehicle is an SUV, but my favorite way to go fish is:

Dotman,

You don't mess around!!

So you have your sleeping bag, rod, tackle and all of your gear on there? That's what I call a small foot print..Nice.

sundrunk,

Yep everything is there and then some. The trunk and saddlebags are full of gear too. I got two or three rods on there; I forget how many now since this pic is a few years old. That was a trip to Pine Creek for 4 or 5 days.

4WD crew cab Silverado for me. Plenty of room to take 4 or 5 guys for a long weekend to the mountains or a trip to the Salmon River with all of our gear. 4WD is almost mandatory for winter Steelhead trips to Pulaski.
