Addition to List of Class A Wild Trout Waters; Unnamed Tributary to Ontelaunee Creek, Lehigh County
[35 Pa.B. 5741] The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has approved the addition of an unnamed tributary to Ontelaunee Creek (first tributary west of SR 309), Lehigh County, to its list of Class A Wild Trout Streams as set forth at 35 Pa.B. 4794 (August 20, 2005). This stream extends for a distance of 0.85 mile from the headwaters to the mouth, which is located at a latitude of 40°42`12" and a longitude of 75°45`58". The stream is located north of Mosserville, flows in a southerly direction along SR 309 and is the first tributary to Ontelaunee Creek to cross under Lentz Road west of SR 309.
Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.8a (relating to Class A wild trout streams), it is the Commission's policy to manage self-sustaining Class A wild trout populations as a renewable natural resource to conserve that resource and the angling it provides. Class A wild trout populations represent the best of this Commonwealth's naturally reproducing trout fisheries. The Commission manages these stream sections solely for the perpetuation of the wild trout fishery with no stocking.
