Family Fun Fishing at Sweet Arrow Lake
The event is being coordinated by the Schuylkill County Sportsmen’s Advisory Board (SAB) to the Schuylkill County Commissioners and the Sweet Arrow Lake Park Board with assistance from the Schuylkill Conservation District.
The kick-off on April 23 is just the beginning as the event continues the entire year. This allows year round enjoyment to catch the grand prize tagged trout worth $1,000 and many other prizes. Ice fisherman will also have the opportunity to reel in a ‘winner’. In addition, if any of the many prizes are not redeemed by the following year’s event they will be distributed via a drawing from the previous year’s registrants. So, make sure you register by April 23 to be eligible for year round fun and prizes.
Over 1,300 people participated in last year’s event; the vast majority consisting of families.
Over $8,000 worth of trout will be stocked thanks to the Friends of Schuylkill Parks and Recreation, the Pine Grove Fish and Game and Swatara Co-op trout nurseries. Over 100 Lunker (18 plus inchers) trout will also be stocked. At this time there will be over $5,000 in prizes with tagged trout, crappies, one carp and one catfish worth a minimum of $25 each. Currently over twenty fish will have tags worth $100 each in gift certificates. Kids are in for a real treat this year as we have a few prizes for them to choose from. Fleer Sports memorabilia, fishing rods or lures will be available to the first 200 kids age 5-12 years.
The registration fee prior to April 1st to enter is $15 an individual or $30 per family, which will include one $5 individual and one $10 family food voucher. After April 1 and the day of the event the fee will increase $5 and $10 respectively. The heaviest carp (weighed between 1 and 1:30pm) caught April 23 will receive $50 cash to be awarded near the Clubhouse at 2pm.
In addition to the family fishing event, canoe and kayaks will be available for rent. Also, a newly completed 18 hole disk golf course is available free. There are many trails and a playground to enjoy with your family. So even if you don’t fish, come out for breakfast or lunch, and enjoy other activities. An awesome Chinese auction also awaits anyone wishing to partake at the clubhouse; no need to be present to win.
On April 23, check-in and registration will begin at 6am at the clubhouse area and the PA Fish and Boat access area coordinated by Schuylkill County Trout Unlimited. All tagged fish and
Lunkers will be stocked beginning at 8am. (time to have breakfast in the Clubhouse and redeem your food coupons) Most Lunkers and tug fish will be float stocked to all areas of the lake.

SCAM ALERT: "Deadly Crash" Facebook Scam Spreads Virus
A "Deadly Crash" Facebook post played on people's emotions Wednesday night on Facebook in order to try and spread a virus.
On Facebook, you might read about a horrific crash that killed “2 moms, 5 kids” and the “fathers had to be held back from the flames.”
Within the post, it stated that the crash happened on a "freeway" within Schuylkill County. Most people who read the post were tipped off at this point that the story was fake.
The story was posted by a relatively unknown Facebook page (we are not posting it's title because we don't want anyone to visit the page) but by Thursday morning, it had already been shared hundreds of times. Within the comments of the post, people had said their computers reported the site was trying to infect them with a virus.

PPL Warns Against Using Energy Efficiency Kit Nightlights
The nightlights were part of kits mailed to customers who completed online home energy assessments and in kits given to students as part of PPL’s THINK! ENERGY school programs.
“We have no reports of injuries or significant damage from these lights, but out of an abundance of caution, we are asking anyone who received one from PPL to stop using it immediately,” said Chris Cardenas, customer services vice president. “We are reaching out now to customers and schools and will provide ways to return the lights.”
Three customers reported the nightlights started smoking several hours after they were plugged in. Another customer reported the light caught fire, leaving a mark on their ceramic tile.
PPL and Ecova, the energy-efficiency contractor that distributed the lights for PPL, are investigating.
Ecova has been mailing the kits to customers who filled out an online home energy assessment. The bulk of the 5,000 kits sent out have been mailed since February 2017.
In addition, about 24,500 kits were distributed in schools around the PPL service territory in the current school year.
Anyone who received a nightlight from PPL can call Ecova (1-877-486-9204) with any questions.
