The Spring Ridge Club Story
Built on a philosophy of limited memberships solely based on water availability, Pennsylvania’s Spring Ridge Club provides world-class catch-and-release fly-fishing experiences for those lucky enough to be accepted as members. Most fly-fishermen will never cast their feathered offerings on a private stretch of limestone creek. “Limestoners” are fed by fertile natural springs spilling from the underground aquifer at cool, year-round temperatures of 48-52 degrees and represent less than 3% of all the trout streams in the world. Vegetation thrives on the nutrients in these alkaline creeks and provides an environment where insects and crustaceans abound and trout can feast and grow healthy and strong.
These creeks have been jealously guarded by their owners for decades. Spring Ridge Club, through its relationships with private landowners and its own land holdings, has been able to build up to more than 30 miles of fly-fishing streams in three locations in Pennsylvania – The Preserves at Spruce Creek, Stillwater, and Erie, Pennsylvania.
We have recently begun a relationship with the premier fly-fishing outfitter in Colorado. With access to 30 professional guides and miles of private water, we plan to start up a sister club near Vail, Colorado in the spring of 2007.
