Temporary Changes to Fishing Regulations; Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program

[43 Pa.B. 7603]
[Saturday, December 28, 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 Fishing Day Program to fish for trout on March 22, and April 5, 2014, 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 those dates. 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 obtained a permit from the Commission. Youth anglers must obtain a permit from the Commission and be accompanied by an adult angler to participate.

 The minimum size will be 7 inches; the creel limit will be 2 trout (combined species). Other Commonwealth inland regulations will apply. It is unlawful for adult anglers to fish in waters designated under the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program without a valid fishing license and trout permit and without being accompanied by a youth who has a permit.

 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, 2014, and will remain in effect until the Commission, by appropriate action, amends its regulations to create a Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program. In the absence of such action, the temporary modification will expire on December 31, 2014.

JOHN A. ARWAY, 
Executive Director
