Yough Sports People Association

Any members?

Good luck guys.

Hope you get a bunch of guys that are interested in having a good association and will work to develop it and have enough support to have some good fund raisers.

Again  best of luck.

well this is all in the planning stages, brainstorming mostly. some ideas about having a poker night at a local fire hall, and selling t shirts similar to the "Stock the Yough" Pins sold at local baitshops. but since we are a smaller club we have a certain percentage of active members that help with work details and attend meetings and a higher percentage that simply pay their dues to use the boat launch.

YSPA is located in Coulter PA.  We have a picnic area and launch ramp.
Dues are only $25 a year and $1 for a key to the gate.  Meetings are held the last Wednesday of the month @ 7:00 PM.

its open to everybody, if you come to one of the meetings youll have absolutely no problem joining

fishnabarrel, I am one of those members that simply paid their dues in order to use the launch. I would be interested in a poker night, just let me know when and where, and I'll be there. I remember seeing a lot of posts on the club's website about weed wacking the hills on both sides of the ramp and am definately going to try and help out with that this year.

Hey YSPA people, let's get this thread active again.  
 
Anyone out there fishing the 2020 WuFlu Pandemic?

I’m interested. I’d like to see this take off.

rooo
Dues are $26 with a key, but the March and April meetings were canceled because of the pandemic. I went down last night, but there was no one there at about 5 minutes before start so I left.  Hoping we just mail in the dues and forgo changing the lock this year. I'll post whatever I find out.  (btw, there were 2 boats out, water looked awesome)
 

. If you could post everything thing to join or DM me I would really appreciate that! Thanks

you might make it up to there pavilion . if putting  in at mckeesport But river is very narrow and shallow around there . 

Got out for the second time this year, finally got off the schneid.  Fished the evening from 7:30 to about 11pm.  One small channel cat and one walleye (maybe a saugeye) about 19" at dusk.
 
To answer some questions, the pool at Coulter is pretty friendly to bigger boats. There is a distinct channel side with plenty of depth for bigger boats. As eyesandgillz stated, the most you'll make it without a jet or high water is just below the island at the Norwin Soccer Fields in Turner Valley. I've only drifted it a couple times, but I found the section from Boston to  Greenock to be wide and shallow.  I tend to go upstream when I launch and rarely go below the island at Alpsville. 

I managed to get out on Wednesday.  The water is low and clear. Caught 2 channel cats.
