Mechanicsburg Sportsmen's Association

Club Pond

The club pond is for MEMBERS’ use only. We stock our own trout throughout the year at times determined by water temperature. The pond supports bass, catfish, sunfish, bluegills, frogs, turtles and snakes. The Children’s Fishing Derby is held in the spring. Each year we contract a environmental consultant to treat the pond for algae and weeds.
