Halfway Road Access Closure
ATTENTION PADDLERS: Greene Township has asked EVERYONE to stop using the Halfway Road Access until further notice! There have been issues with cars parked on the side of the road and traffic. Please do not drop off, get picked, or park at this location until further notice. Thank you all for being patient as we work with Greene Township to find a SAFE solution that works for all parties involved. We hope you continue to enjoy the river during this time! All other launches are accessible (Kidds Mill must be accessed from the east side of the bridge due to construction) and open to the public. Please share to help spread the word! Thank you!
July 22nd Budd Street Canoe Launch

Happy National Rivers Month!

Help support us in that mission we are hoping to raise $10,000 during the month of June in honor of National Rivers Month. Help us reach that goal by donating today! Contributors will become a member of this award winning organization and will be recognized on social media.

Fly Casting Clinic
Hello aspiring, amateur, and advanced fly casters alike!
Have you ever wanted to know more about fly fishing? Have you tried fly fishing, but you aren’t sure you have the proper equipment? Are you an avid fly fisherman, but you don’t know or have not perfected all your casting skills?
If you answered yes to any or all of the above, we have a treat for you!
Ted Fauceglia, author of Mayfiles, Major Eastern and Midwestern Hatches, renowned photographer and certified casting instructor has offered to give a free Fly Fishing Casting Techniques Seminar/Clinic at Buhl Park on Sunday, May 7th at 2:00pm. Not only will Ted give us a brief discussion about equipment, he will demonstrate and teach several popular casting techniques and some difficult casts so you are better prepared for fly fishing on our local streams and river!
Ted became a Federation of Fly Fishers Certified Casting instructor after years of fly fishing and months of hard work, classes and testing and he is ready to share what he learned with Shenango River Watchers! We hope you will join us to learn from this incredible teacher!
We will meet at the grassy area next to the eastern part of Lake Julia (east of the bridge) at 2:00pm. It is not necessary that you have equipment to attend this class, but if you have it, bring it!
