The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is preparing for another trout season with a preseason event at Gander Mountain stores statewide.
The Fish and Boat Commission will host educational trout expos at Gander Mountain stores throughout the state, running Friday, March 14 to Sunday, March 16, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Participation varies by store.
The Commission will be on hand to answer questions, provide visitors with maps and how-to information, and offer insights on the best places to trout fish in Pennsylvania. Visitors to Gander Mountain stores on the event dates can enter to win $200 in fishing gear.
Opening day of trout season is April 12 in the Abington area. Anglers 16 years and older must possess a valid fishing license. For more information, visit
