Fishing News, Reports, & Events
The Wintergreen Sporting Club fishing group is for all who enjoy fly, spin, or bait casting or want to learn how. The regular informal get-togethers (called fishing conclaves) at local restaurants and Wintergreen homes are for fishing men and women to discuss anything fishing-related. There are also formal programs on trout and bass fishing, lessons on fly fishing, and a Spring and Fall bass fishing tournament. The club's fishing group has improved the habitat of the ponds by submerging discarded Christmas trees in the ponds during the Spring of the year. Working with the Wintergreen Property Owners Association, the WSC coordinated fundraising to purchase and install aerators in the trout pond. The fishing group also manages the annual late winter/early spring rainbow trout stocking program with WPOA, and in 2021, the club started a late fall stocking of the trout pond.
Update for May 24, 2025– All catch restrictions on the Trout Pond have been removed until fall. Any type of bait is currently permitted and there is no limit on the number of fish that can be kept. Fishing on the pond is restricted to Wintergreen property owners and their guests; a WPOA fishing permit must be displayed, and a valid VA freshwater fishing license is required.
Trout Pond is stocked with Rainbow Trout in a cooperative program with the WSC and the Wintergreen Property Owners Association. Thanks to the WSC volunteers for feeding the fish. Updates will be posted here and in the WSC email newsletters. WSC membership is not required to sign up for our newsletters. Sign up for the free fishing newsletters here.
