Temporary Changes to Miscellaneous Special Regulations

[30 Pa.B. 1432]

   The Executive Director of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission), acting under the authority of 58 Pa. Code § 65.25 (relating to temporary changes to fishing regulations), is taking immediate action to modify temporarily the miscellaneous special regulations at § 65.24 as follows:

County Name of Water Special Regulations
Huntingdon Raystown Lake (includes
Raystown Branch from
the Raystown Dam
downstream to
confluence with Juniata
River). 		Trout (all species)--no closed season. Creel
limits: regular inland season--[8] 5. Day after
Labor Day to opening day of next regular inland
season--3 (combined species).
* * *
Somerset,
Fayette,
Westmoreland
and Allegheny 		Youghiogheny River
from reservoir
downstream to
confluence with
Casselman River 		Closed season on trout--April 1 until 8 a.m. first
Saturday after April 11. Daily limit--opening day
of trout season to Labor Day--[eight] five trout
per day; day after Labor Day to midnight March
31 of the following year--three trout per day.
Inland regulations apply to warmwater/coolwater
species.

   When the Commission amended its Statewide trout regulations last year to reduce the creel limit from eight to five, these miscellaneous regulations should have been amended as well. The Commission's Executive Director finds that temporarily modifying these miscellaneous special regulations to make them consistent with Statewide trout regulations is necessary and appropriate for the protection, preservation and management of fish and fish habitat and to conserve and preserve fishing opportunities. The Commission will take appropriate rulemaking action to amend the miscellaneous special regulations at its upcoming meeting on April 8, 2000.

PETER A. COLANGELO,   
Executive Director
