FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION

Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Proposed Additions and Revisions; January 2024

[53 Pa.B. 7268]
[Saturday, November 18, 2023]

 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 22, 2024, 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:

County of Mouth	Stream Name	Section Limits	Tributary to	Mouth Lat/Lon
Huntingdon	Unknown Tributary to Laurel Run (RM 4.16)	Headwaters to Mouth	Laurel Run	40.676934 77.872626
Lycoming	Gregs Run	Headwaters to Mouth	Muncy Creek	41.221542 76.719383

 The Commission also will consider the following revisions to the section limits of streams on the list:

County of Mouth	Stream Name	Current Limits	Revised Limits	Tributary to	Mouth Lat/Lon
Carbon	Mud Run	Headwaters to Hickory Run State Park lower boundary	Headwaters to Mouth	Lehigh River	40.988609 75.712502
Clearfield	Potts Run	Headwaters to Clark Road Bridge	Headwaters to Mouth	Clearfield Creek	40.891945 78.441391
Huntingdon	Laurel Run	Headwaters to Whipple Lake	Headwaters to SR 26 bridge	Standing Stone Creek	40.638889 77.837222
Huntingdon	Singers Gap Run	Headwaters to Private Road Ford at RM 2.23	Headwaters to Sink at RM 1.16	Hill Valley Creek	40.336098 77.906794

 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, objections or suggestions may also be submitted electronically to RA-pfbcregulations@pa.gov.
