2010 Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Additions and Adjustments
[40 Pa.B. 1468]
[Saturday, March 13, 2010]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 April 19 and 20, 2010, 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 Stream Name Tributary To Section Limits McKean Boyer Brook Potato Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Forest Church Run Tionesta Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Forest Fools Creek Tionesta Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Forest Kingsley Run Tionesta Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Forest Martin Run Tionesta Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Forest Phelps Run Tionesta Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Forest Reagan Run Tionesta Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Forest Rocky Run Tionesta Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Elk Spring Creek Clarion River Confluence of Watson Branch and Gilfoyle Run downstream to confluence with Wolf Run Clearfield Beaver Run Moshannon Creek Headwaters to confluence with Gose Run Centre Boake Run Sterling Run Headwaters downstream to mouth Clearfield Dale Run Moravian Run Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Hartshorn Run West Branch Susquehanna River Headwaters to confluence with UNT at RM 1.70 Clearfield Hogback Run West Branch Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth Centre Romola Branch Marsh Creek Headwater to mouth Snyder UNT to Middle Creek (Paxtonville) Middle Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Clearfield UNT to Moravian Run (I80) Moravian Run Headwaters to mouth Clearfield UNT to Moravian Run (Sally's Bottom) Moravian Run Headwaters near Wallaceton downstream to mouth Tioga Norris Brook Crooked Creek Headwaters to Catlin Hollow Susquehanna Pigpen Creek Starrucca Creek Headwaters to mouth Susquehanna Roaring Run Starrucca Creek Headwaters to mouth Tioga Root Hollow Norris Brook Headwaters to mouth Tioga Spoor Hollow Norris Brook Headwaters to mouth Tioga Sweet Hollow Norris Brook Headwaters to mouth Pike Birchy Creek Shohola Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Pike Burchards Creek Taylortown Creek 0.6 km upstream St. Forest border downstream to Taylortown Creek Lehigh Catasauqua Creek Lehigh River East Woods Street Bridge downstream to former Lehigh Canal Carbon Long Run Lehigh River Headwaters downstream to mouth Pike Shohola Creek Delaware River Downstream border SGL#180 downstream to mouth Pike Taylortown Creek Balliard Creek Headwaters downstream to backwaters of Lake Greeley Carbon UNT to Lehigh River (RM 49.95 Glen Onoko Falls) Lehigh River Headwater downstream to mouth Wayne UNT To Sherman Creek (Gardinier Corners) Sherman Creek Waterfall near upstream boundary SGL#70 downstream to mouth Lehigh UNT to Trout Creek (RM 2.74 Old Mill Road) Trout Creek Headwaters downstream to mouth Pike Van Campen Brook Delaware River National Recreation Area downstream to mouth Chester Black Horse Creek Marsh Creek Lake Headwaters downstream to Marsh Creek Lake Schuylkill Mahannon Creek Schuylkill River Headwaters downstream to SR 0061 Schuylkill Mahonney Creek Mahannon Creek Headwaters downstream to point 370 m. downstream of Berry Road (T-687) / East 2nd Mountain Road Jct.
