Temporary Changes to Fishing Regulations; Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day

[43 Pa.B. 114]
[Saturday, January 5, 2013]

 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), has taken immediate action to allow individuals participating in the Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day Program to fish for trout on March 23, 2013, beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m. on waters designated by the Executive Director that are normally closed to trout fishing on that date. To participate, anglers 16 years of age or older (adult anglers) must possess a valid Pennsylvania fishing license and current trout/salmon permit and be accompanied by a youth (less than 16 years of age) who has registered with the Commission. Youth anglers must be registered with the Commission and be accompanied by an adult angler to participate. The minimum size will be 7 inches; the creel limit will be 2 (combined species). Other Commonwealth inland regulations will apply. It is unlawful for adult anglers to fish in waters designated under the Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day Program without a valid fishing license and trout permit and without being accompanied by a registered youth.

 The waters included in the Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day Program for 2013 are:

County Water
Adams Waynesboro Reservoir
Berks Antietam Lake
Berks Scotts Run Lake
Bucks Levittown Lake
Cumberland Children's Lake
Cumberland Doubling Gap Lake
Dauphin Middletown Reservoir
Lancaster Muddy Run Recreation Lake
Lebanon Lions Lake
Lehigh Lehigh Canal, Section 08
Montgomery Deep Creek Dam/Green Lane
Schuylkill Locust Lake

 The Executive Director will cause this temporary modification to fishing regulations to be posted in the vicinity of the affected waters and the modified regulation will be fully effective and enforceable. The Executive Director has found that this action is necessary and appropriate to conserve and preserve fishing opportunities.

 This temporary modification will go into effect on January 1, 2013, and will remain in effect until the Commission, by appropriate action, amends its regulations to create a Mentored Youth Trout Fishing Day Program. In the absence of action, the temporary modification will expire on December 31, 2013.

JOHN A. ARWAY, 
Executive Director
