Welcome to the
Round Valley Trout Association Website
The Round Valley Trout Association (RVTA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to maintaining and improving the fishery at the Round Valley Reservoir. Our primary purpose is to supplement the State Of New Jersey's stocking of trout and herring in Round Valley by raising funds for this purpose. We have also established a "Trophy Trout Program" that has seen some true "giants" being stocked.

Spring is in the air, the Valley no longer has ice on it and the fish are biting. This must mean that tournament season is coming! Our 3rd Annual Steve Welgoss Memorial Tournament is taking place on Saturday, May 17th! We will be taking pre-orders for t-shirts this year until April 28th. Please email Jody at jwelgoss17@gmail.com to arrange preorder or see her at the April RVTA meeting. Proceeds from these shirts will go back into the RVTA Trophy Trout program and also The V Foundation for Gastric Cancer research. Adult sizes S thru 4XL are available at $20.00 each. I will have the shirts at the May 15th RVTA meeting or at the tournament on the 17th for pick up.
