Designations of Waters Subject to Special Fishing Regulations
[27 Pa.B. 6285] Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.4, a stream qualifies for a wilderness trout stream designation ''where stream remoteness and populations of naturally reproducing trout combine to offer sport fishing opportunity for the recreation of anglers in a wilderness setting away from roads or vehicular access.''
Roaring Run is a small freestone stream located in northwestern Somerset County near Jennerstown, Pennsylvania. It is a tributary to Quemahoning Creek and contains a naturally reproducing brook trout population. Roaring Run, Section 01 (from the headwaters downstream to Boswell Reservoir), contains a Class B naturally reproducing brook trout population. Roaring Run continues to harbor a robust brook trout population for this size stream coming off the Laurel Ridge. It also provides a wild brook trout fishery in a remote setting.
Notice is hereby given that the Fish and Boat Commission is designating Roaring Run, Somerset County, as a wilderness trout stream.
