THE STRIPERS ARE BACK!!!!!! Now that is some great news we can celebrate after this long drawn out winter and slow start to real Spring weather. What better way to welcome in the 2026 fishing season than to catch up on the MVSA news. This April edition is packed with information to get you excited about the season.

While you are getting prepared for the 2026 season please keep in mind our September Tag Sale. If you have any good used tackle you would like to donate contact The Prez. This is a great annual event that supports the kids and the Vets.

There are other topics such as the MVSA apparel to purchase, raffle for a boat fishing trip  (thank you to Scott Macafferi), update on the 2 MVSA Scholarships to be awarded, the Mill Pond update and water quality assessments and so much more.
