    Class a Wild Trout Streams

    CLASS A WILD TROUT STREAMS STATEWIDE WATER QUALITY STANDARDS REVIEW STREAM REDESIGNATION EVALUATION Drainage Lists: A, C, D, E, F, H, I, K, L, N, O, P, Q, T WATER QUALITY MONITORING SECTION (MAB) DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY STANDARDS BUREAU OF POINT AND NON-POINT SOURCE MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION December 2014 INTRODUCTION The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) is required by regulation, 25 Pa. Code section 93.4b(a)(2)(ii), to consider streams for High Quality (HQ) designation when the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) submits information that a stream is a Class A Wild Trout stream based on wild trout biomass. The PFBC surveys for trout biomass using their established protocols (Weber, Green, Miko) and compares the results to the Class A Wild Trout Stream criteria listed in Table 1. The PFBC applies the Class A classification following public notice, review of comments, and approval by their Commissioners. The PFBC then submits the reports to the Department where staff conducts an independent review of the trout biomass data in the fisheries management reports for each stream. All fisheries management reports that support PFBCs final determinations included in this package were reviewed and the streams were found to qualify as HQ streams under 93.4b(a)(2)(ii). There are 50 entries representing 207 stream miles included in the recommendations table. The Department generally followed the PFBC requested stream reach delineations. Adjustments to reaches were made in some instances based on land use, confluence of tributaries, or considerations based on electronic mapping limitations. PUBLIC RESPONSE AND PARTICIPATION SUMMARY The procedure by which the PFBC designates stream segments as Class A requires a public notice process where proposed Class A sections are published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin first as proposed and secondly as final, after a review of comments received during the public comment period and approval by the PFBC Commissioners.

    PerfectPerfect forfor PeacefulPeaceful PaddlingPaddling compiled by Art Michaels LE IL H A The 31-mile Lehigh River Water Trail Southern Section begins at the I G R Lehigh Gap and ends at the confluence of the Lehigh River with the Dela- H T ware River, in Easton. The Southern Section widens and tends to provide R R more tranquil paddling than the Northern Section. Rolling hills and for- IV TE ested riparian corridors characterize the land surrounding the Southern Sec- ER WA tion, so it offers better paddling opportunities for lesser-experienced paddlers and families. The Southern Section includes many accesses and passes through Southern the urban areas of Allentown, Bethlehem and Easton. Section Muskellunge Fishing Opportunities The Southern Section abounds with fishing opportunities. Trout are stocked in the water trail’s Northern Section from around Jim Thorpe to Bowmanstown, so the Southern Section’s best trout fishing occurs near and above the Lehigh Gap. The entire Southern Section is stocked with fingerling walleyes and muskies. The best walleye and musky action on the Lehigh encompasses nearly the entire South- ern Section, to Allentown’s Hamilton Street area. Smallmouth bass are also avail- able in the Southern Section, and action for smallmouths is best throughout the entire Southern Section. In spring, American shad are also present, mainly near Easton through Allentown’s Hamilton Street area, but consider the Lehigh River’s special regulations for shad in the Summary of Fishing Regulations and Laws. An- glers will also find channel catfish in the Southern Section. Throughout the Southern Section, regulations for Commonwealth inland waters apply.
