FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION
Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Proposed Changes to List; July 2013
[43 Pa.B. 2688]
[Saturday, May 11, 2013]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 July 15 and 16, 2013, 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 Adams Birch Run Long Pine Run Reservoir Headwaters to mouth Adams Hosack Run Conococheague Creek Headwaters to mouth Cambria Emeigh Run West Branch Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth Cambria UNT to Bradley Run Bradley Run Headwaters to mouth Cameron Barrs Run (Stone Quarry Hollow) Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek Headwaters to mouth Cameron Hicks Run Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek Headwaters to mouth Centre UNT to Pine Creek Pine Creek Headwaters to mouth Clarion Little Hefren Run Toms Run Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Bear Run Anderson Creek Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Erick Hollow Wilson Run Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Fenton Run Bigler Run Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Kratzer Run Anderson Creek Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Little Saunders Run Saunders Run Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Matley Hollow Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Pray Run Laurel Run Headwaters to mouth Clearfield Saunders Run Laurel Run Headwaters to mouth Clinton UNT to Fishing Creek Fishing Creek Headwaters to mouth Elk Gregg Run Millstone Creek Headwaters to mouth Elk Jimmy Run Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek Headwaters to mouth Elk Lake City Run Clarion River Headwaters to mouth Elk Laurel Run East Branch Millstone Creek Headwaters to mouth Elk Mahood Run Clarion River Headwaters to mouth Elk Paige Run Red Run Headwaters to mouth Elk Shaffer Draft Run Bell Draft Headwaters to mouth Forest Brush Creek West Branch Millstone Creek Headwaters to mouth Forest Dry Run West Branch Millstone Creek Headwaters to mouth Forest Shippen Run Clarion River Headwaters to mouth Forest Shippen Run West Branch Millstone Creek Headwaters to mouth Forest Henry Run Clarion River Headwaters to mouth Forest Irwin Run Coleman Run Headwaters to mouth Franklin Cold Spring Run Conococheague Creek Headwaters downstream to backwaters of Guilford Township Water Authority impoundment Franklin Mountain Run Conococheague Creek Headwaters to mouth Franklin Raccoon Creek Rocky Mountain Creek Headwaters to mouth Franklin Red Run West Branch Antietam Creek Headwaters to mouth Franklin Rocky Mountain Creek Conococheague Creek Headwaters downstream to SR 0233 Bridge at River Mile 1.27 Huntingdon Browns Gap Run Aughwick Creek Headwaters downstream to second Bridge above mouth Huntingdon Gifford Hollow Run Blacklog Creek Headwaters to mouth Huntingdon Old Womans Run Aughwick Creek Headwaters downstream to 1.0 km upstream of mouth Huntingdon Roaring Run North Spring Branch Headwaters to mouth Huntingdon Sugar Run Aughwick Creek Headwaters downstream to confluence with first Unnamed Tributary on the right descending bank Jefferson Johns Run Callen Run Headwaters to mouth Jefferson Tadler Run Clarion River Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Birch Run Larrys Creek Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Mud Run First Fork Larrys Creek Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Wendell Run Larrys Creek Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Wolf Run Larrys Creek Headwaters to mouth Sullivan Little Swamp Run Swamp Run Headwaters to mouth The Commission also will consider the removal of the following streams or portions of streams from the list:
