FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION
Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Proposed Additions, Amendments and Revisions; January 2021
[50 Pa.B. 6742]
[Saturday, November 21, 2020]
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 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 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.
At the next Commission meeting on January 25 and 26, 2021, the Commission will consider changes to its list of wild trout streams. Specifically, the Commission will consider the addition of the following streams or portions of streams to the list:

The Commission also will consider the following amendment to the list:
| Current Sectioning Strategy | Proposed Sectioning Strategy |
|---|
| County | Stream | Limits | Length (miles) | Mouth Lat/Lon | County | Stream | Limits | Length (miles) | Mouth Lat/Lon |
Cumber-
land | Sthromes Hollow Run | Headwaters to Mouth (Con-
fluence Hairy Springs Hollow Run) | 4.33 | 40.064474
77.412008 | Cumber-
land | Yellow Breeches Creek | Headwaters to Mouth (Con-
fluence Hairy Springs Hollow Run) | 4.33 40.226112
76.858887 |
* The source of Yellow Breeches Creek, from the headwaters to the confluence of Hairy Springs Hollow Run, was incorrectly identified as Sthromes Hollow Run when Sthromes Hollow Run was added to the Wild Trout Streams list. Sthromes Hollow Run is now being identified as Yellow Breeches Creek. The current listed wild trout limits of Yellow Breeches Creek will encompass what was formerly named Sthromes Hollow Run. This change does not result in additions to the Wild Trout Streams list and is only amending a stream name as new information becomes available.
Persons with comments, objections or suggestions concerning the classification of the streams listed may submit them in writing to the Executive Director, Fish and Boat Commission, P.O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000, within 30 days after publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted.
Comments also may be submitted electronically by completing the form at www.fishandboat.com/regcomments. If an acknowledgment of electronic comments is not received by the sender within 2 working days, the comments should be retransmitted to ensure receipt. Electronic comments submitted in any other manner will not be accepted.
