A Bit More About Us...
The “Striper Club” is a non-profit organization committed to the preservation and enjoyment of the land-locked Striped Bass population in Smith Mountain Lake. The major elements fundamental to the Club's purposes are Education, Conservation, Community and Social.
Club Meetings
General membership meetings are held at 7:00 pm, the 1st Friday of every month at the Smith Mountain Lake Library Community Room on RT 122, Moneta. For speakers and other details, check the Meetings page. Stop in and say hello, we look forward to meeting you!
Fishing Gear Donations
From time to time the club has received a donation of striper fishing gear from prior members, local residents and others who no longer need or use the equipment. In turn the club either gives clean and restored gear to new members or local kids who are just learning to fish for stripers, or uses it as door prizes or raffle fund raiser for the Club's charitable donations to local non-profit groups. We appreciate these generous gestures, and are thankful for this kind support. It is one more way that our organization is able to help people of all ages to learn about and enjoy the beauty and serenity of fishing at Smith Mountain Lake.
