Classification of Wild Trout Streams--2005

[35 Pa.B. 2966]

   Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) to accurately identify and classify stream sections supporting naturally reproducing populations of trout as wild trout streams. The listing of a stream section as a wild trout stream is a biological designation that does not determine how it is managed. The Commission uses many factors in determining the appropriate management of streams. The Commission's Fisheries Management Division maintains the list of wild trout streams. The Executive Director, with the approval of the Commission, will from time to time publish the list of wild trout streams in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

   The Commission has approved the list of wild trout streams as published at 33 Pa.B. 6292 (December 20, 2003) with the changes described as follows. Specifically, the Commission has removed the following 25 streams or portions of streams from the list.
