FISHING REGULATIONS

NORTHWEST Find the regulation that applies to where you want to fish. NORTHCENTRAL NORTHEAST To assist trout anglers in knowing the regulations that apply to locations where they fish, the trout regulations are separated by PFBC Regions. From pages 22 through 29, each region contains a listing of SOUTHWEST SOUTHCENTRAL its counties separated by specific trout regulation. SOUTHEAST An explanation of each regulation and its requirements is on this page and the next page.

REGIONAL OPENING DAY OF TROUT SEASON –’s Official State Fish The trout season begins earlier in 18 southeastern Pennsylvania counties. In these counties (and designated waters crossing into these counties), trout season will begin 8 a.m., April 2. Unless otherwise specified by special regulation, inland daily limits and minimum sizes apply. Stocked trout waters in the Southeast, Southcentral, Northcentral and Northeast Regions that have this early opening day are listed beginning on page 22.

Rainbow Trout Stocked trout waters Many , , ponds and are officially classified as “stocked trout waters.” This means that these waters contain significant portions that are open to public fishing and are stocked with trout. The waters listed here are open to trout harvest during the “extended season” (see page 10). Unlisted streams (those not included in this list of “stocked trout waters”) are not open to harvest of trout during the “extended season.” Only stocked trout waters and Golden all waters downstream of stocked trout waters are open during this period. Spearing fish is not permitted in any of these waters at any time of the year. These waters are closed to all fishing (including taking of minnows) from March 1 to 8 a.m. on the opening day of the trout season. A person shall be deemed to be fishing if he or she has in posses- sion any fishing line, rod or other device that can be used for fishing while on or in any water or on the banks within 25 feet of any water where fishing is prohibited. Trout Special note: Although the list was up to date at the time this booklet was printed, it is possible that some streams may later be deleted or added as “stocked trout waters” because of last-minute changes in water Brown Trout has dark quality conditions. Check with the nearest Fish and Boat Commission office (see page 3) if there is any ques- spots, few or none on tail. tion about whether or not a water area is “stocked.”
