Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Home Page SPECIAL FEATURE INSIDE: Warmwater Fishing in Pennsylvania Pennsylvania 800 JUNE 1984 HOTTEST NEW BASS TIPS FOR HOME WATERS page 4 FOOL YOUR FIRST MUSKY page 24 The Keystone t \ Official Fishing inciting Magazine For someone outside of government, the system of laws, regulations and policies is no doubt confusing. The General Assembly has entrusted the Pennsylvania Fish Commission with broad authority to regulate fishing and boating in Pennsylvania, and of course, our regulatory authority extends to reptiles, amphibians and other aquatic organisms. Most of our public is familiar with seasons, sizes, creel limits, and the various rules that boaters follow. These are all regulations, and violations of such regulations are criminal offenses. The 10-member Pennsylvania Fish Commission considers proposed regulations at public meetings and from there they move authorization of publication as notices of proposed rulemaking. More comments are taken from the public, and presuming no substantive changes are made, the proposal is usually finally adopted at a subsequent Commission meeting. This process is orderly and the public input is sought quite often before we even propose such regulations. Frequently these regulations result from suggestions from the public. The eight- member Boating Advisory Board is a great source of ideas and input, and we get similar advice from the Herpetological Advisory Committee. However, there are some people who believe that we should regulate by petition. Just the other day we received one with a great number of signatures, and all that was at the top of the page on which they all signed their names was, "We the undersigned believe that the change should be made as submitted." How do they know that whatever they signed is going to be attached to what they think it is to accompany? We have had a lot of experience with petitions, and speaking in all frankness, it would appear that a great number of these have been signed in a grocery store, a drugstore or at a bar, where under certain circumstances, rather than cause a scene, many people would be willing to sign anything. We have had a number of petitions analyzed and found that there were false addresses given; we have found such names as Richard M. Nixon, W.C. Fields, and Mickey Mouse, and indeed some of our own names signed on such documents. 1 have a feeling a lot of people who have signed these things are deadly serious and very sincere and we should not denigrate their efforts. We recognize that petitions are necessary for filing for elective office and each signature on those is very thoroughly investigated. There is also another method used by some to try to influence the adoption or rejection of proposed regulations. One of these occurred recently when the Commissioners were about to take a final vote on the prohibition of sacking contests and free handling at rattlesnake hunts. In an effort to influence the vote, members of one club were able to get landowners on about 10 miles of a stream to post their property the day after preseason trout stocking to be re-opened to the public only if the Commission made things come out "their" way. That has to be considered blackmail, and those who took part will find that there is a law by which they shall be civilly liable to the Commission for the value of the fish falsely procured and shall not be eligible in the future to receive fish from the Commission. It is a shame some think that they can get their way in this manner. There is an excellent system for getting ideas put into regulations. We prefer to stick with that system and hope that our public will, too. <=32L£E^ ad- O^u^ Pennsylvania JUNE 1984 VOL. 53 NO. 6 ANGLER Official Publication of the Pennsylvania Fish Commission 4 20 Bass Fishing Tips by Nick Sisley Use this heads-up advice on the latest hot tactics to increase your catches. 9 Try a Shore Lunch by Carole Webeck Miller All in favor of a delicious way to enjoy your catch say Mmmmmmmm! 10 Carp Fishing Tricks by Lefty Kreh Pound for pound, carp fight just like the biggest bass.

Ik Fishing Tips / AW by Nick Sisley photos by the author hile bass season now remains open year- round on Pennsylvania's rivers and streams and on lakes Wallenpaupack, Raystown, and Kinzua. the remaining lakes, reservoirs, and ponds in the state are closed to bass fishing from April 14 mto June 16. When the regular season opens June 16, the how-to of catching largemouth (smallmouth, too) is quite different than it might have been from late April through early June. Here are tips that can help you increase your bass catches during the first few days and weeks after the regular bass season opens. Before opening day make a concerted attempt to secure permission to fish for bass at a private pond. While the opening day of bass season may not draw nas many anglers to Commonwealth waters as the opening day of trout season, each year more sportsmen are turning on to bass fishing. Consequently, fishing some public waters can mean crowded launch ramps and not as much casting room as you might have expected. Many Pennsylvania lakes are noted for their clear bottoms and lack of cover. Still, most such lakes do hold a largemouth population. Try to locate as much Bminimal cover as possible, preferably before the season. The fish, though they frequent such cover, may not actually be in the structure. If they're feeding, the bass may be in even shallower water, perhaps between the cover and the shoreline. Try probing these areas with appropriate lures. Because many bass will be shallow, especially those actively feeding (and thus usually easier to catch), expect fish in "skinny" water to be spooky. Lean Btoward lighter lures, lighter lines, and soft touchdowns, and keep the boat and your casting motions as far away from the payoff zone as possible. 1^ I June 1984 fess love lily pads, and the early part of the regular of 8-inch to 10-inch bass.

This publication attempts to solve the problem. It is divided into five parts: The first presents a basic clas­ sification of fishing gear; the second is a key by means of which fishing gear can be identified and new terms for fishing gear can be properly classified; the third defines and illustrates various types of fishing gear; the fourth is a tabular classification of local Filipino di­ alect names; and the fifth is a glossary including definitions of more than a thousand terms.

  • Lake Burton Trout Fishery
    GEORGIA DNR Wildlife Resources Division Fisheries Section LAKE BURTON TROUT FISHERY To fish for trout on Lake Burton requires a fishing license. A trout stamp is also needed if you plan to keep any trout that you catch. For more information about fishing in Georgia, visit our website at www.gofishgeorgia.com EXPERT TIPS FOR FISHING LAKE BURTON IN SPRING, SUMMER, FALL AND WINTER Lake Burton is a 2,785-acre reservoir located between Clayton and Hiawassee that supports Georgia’s only reservoir trout fishery. There are three factors in Lake Burton that few southern impoundments possess, which enable it to support trout: (1) a bountiful supply of cool water, (2) sufficient dissolved oxygen, and (3) suitable forage. The surrounding mountain streams flowing into the lake provide a continuous supply of cool, well- oxygenated water, and blueback herring provide the forage needed for trout to grow fast and big. Couple these things with an annual stocking program by GA-DNR and you have all the ingredients for a great reservoir trout fishery. Spring Fishing Tips . Spring is a major transition period for trout in Lake Burton because water temperatures are warming rapidly, but are still cool enough to allow trout to roam freely throughout the lake. The key to locating and catching trout during this period is finding their favorite food—Blueback Herring . In April and May, blueback herring are spawning on rocky shorelines around the main lake and in the tributary streams. Lures that imitate a blueback herring, like a Pearl Super Fluke or Zara Spook or Shad Rap are effective this time of year.
