NOTICES

Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Additions, Adjustments and Removals

[44 Pa.B. 3202]
[Saturday, May 24, 2014]

 The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has approved the addition of 18 new waters to its list of wild trout streams, the adjustment of the section limits of 3 waters on the list and the removal of 48 waters from the list as published at 44 Pa.B. 1293 (March 1, 2014). Of the streams proposed for removal, Big Spring Run, Westmoreland County, was inadvertently listed. Section 01 of this stream has been documented to contain wild trout and the limits of the section designated as a wild trout stream were adjusted in 2012. Therefore, the Commission did not remove Big Spring Run from the list.

 Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the 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 relies upon many factors in determining the appropriate management of streams. The Commission's Fisheries Management Division maintains the complete list of wild trout streams and it is available on the Commission's web site at http://www.fish.state.pa.us/trout_repro.htm.
