Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions, Amendments, and Revisions January 2021 Under 58 Pa. Code §57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) to accurately identify and classify stream sections supporting naturally reproducing populations of trout as wild trout streams. The Commission’s Fisheries Management Division maintains the list of wild trout streams. The Executive Director, with the approval of the Commission, will from time-to-time publish the list of wild trout streams in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The listing of a stream section as a wild trout stream is a biological designation that does not determine how it is managed. The Commission relies upon many factors in determining the appropriate management of streams. At the next Commission meeting on January 25 and 26, 2021, the Commission will consider changes to its list of wild trout streams. Specifically, the Commission will consider the addition of the following streams or portions of streams to the list: County of Mouth Stream Name Section Limits Tributary To Mouth Lat/Lon Headwaters to UNT 40.784722 Armstrong Rough Run Buffalo Creek at RM 1.78 79.688056 UNT to Yellow 40.123110 Bedford Headwaters to Mouth Yellow Creek Creek (RM 4.82) 78.316910 UNT to Yellow 40.130380 Bedford Headwaters to Mouth Yellow Creek Creek (RM 6.02) 78.332830 UNT to Hayes 41.105220 Centre Headwaters to Mouth Hayes Run Run (RM 0.36) 77.755750 UNT (RM 0.18) to UNT to Narrows 41.172671 Clearfield Narrows Creek Headwaters to Mouth Creek (RM 2.54) 78.695581 (RM 2.54) County of Mouth Stream Name Section Limits Tributary To Mouth Lat/Lon Robbins Hollow 41.336030 Clinton Headwaters to Mouth Twomile Run Run 77.855025 40.254167 Cumberland Hogestown Run Headwaters to Mouth Conodoguinet Creek 77.026944 Headwaters to East Branch Antietam 39.762264 Franklin Biesecker Run Masters Road Bridge Creek 77.532788 East Branch Antietam 39.799648 Franklin Tumbling Run Headwaters to Mouth Creek 77.475211 UNT to East Headwaters to East Branch Antietam 39.762432 Franklin Branch Antietam Woodcrest Creek 77.530814 Creek (RM 6.80) Development Pond East Branch Antietam 39.773847 Franklin Vineyard Run Headwaters to Mouth Creek 77.503573 Headwaters to Big 40.437222 Huntingdon Mill Creek Juniata River Hollow Run 77.935280 40.300554 Huntingdon Shy Beaver Creek Headwaters to Mouth Raystown Lake 78.213437 40.614061 Huntingdon Sinking Run Headwaters to Mouth Little Juniata River 78.162270 40.919828 Jefferson Foundry Run Headwaters to Mouth Mahoning Creek 79.082845 41.298611 Luzerne Huntsville Creek Headwaters to Mouth Toby Creek 75.926667 41.413361 Lycoming Callhans Run Headwaters to Mouth Rogers Run 77.301567 41.216226 Lycoming Furnace Run Headwaters to Mouth Pine Creek 77.317186 UNT (RM 0.01) to UNT to Railroad Run 41.842560 McKean UNT to Railroad Headwaters to Mouth (RM 2.30) 78.612240 Run (RM 2.30) UNT to Brewer 41.688300 McKean Headwaters to Mouth Brewer Run Run (RM 2.15) 78.428019 40.752865 Schuylkill Rattling Run Headwaters to Mouth Little Mahanoy Creek 76.339394 UNT to Bear 40.588889 Schuylkill Headwaters to Mouth Bear Creek Creek (RM 2.94) 76.126111 County of Mouth Stream Name Section Limits Tributary To Mouth Lat/Lon Headwaters to Wolf 41.431244 Sullivan Painter Den Creek Lopez Creek Run 76.323578 UNT to Dry Run 41.430031 Sullivan Headwaters to Mouth Dry Run (RM 2.18) 76.671463 UNT to Schrader 41.585074 Sullivan Headwaters to Mouth Schrader Creek Creek (RM 20.58) 76.767273 UNT to Kreutz 40.014915 York Headwaters to Mouth Kreutz Creek Creek (RM 1.53) 76.538829 The Commission also will consider the following revisions to the section limits of streams on the list: County of Current Revised Mouth Mouth Stream Name Limits Limits Tributary To Lat/Lon Headwaters to Headwaters Little Hughes to Sonman Conemaugh 40.330833 Cambria Conemaugh Number 2 Discharge at River 78.924722 River Borehole RM 19.85 West Branch Headwaters to Headwaters 41.078609 Clearfield Deer Creek Susquehanna UNT 17973 to Mouth 78.235420 River Headwaters to Yellow 1.6 kilometers Headwaters Susquehanna 40.226112 Cumberland Breeches downstream to US 15 River 76.858887 Creek Boiling Spring bridge Lake Pennsylvania/ Pennsylvania/ Maryland state Maryland 39.733333 Franklin Falls Creek Red Run line to state line to 77.542173 Waterloo Road Mouth Headwaters to Headwaters Perkiomen Seisholtzville to Tollgate Schuylkill 40.119167 Montgomery Creek Road (SR Road (SR River 75.462778 1010) 1022) Headwaters to 3.35 kilometers Headwaters Sherman 40.340278 Perry Laurel Run upstream SR to Mouth Creek 77.327778 3011 Dam of most downstream Headwaters 40.597222 Schuylkill Black Creek Swatara Creek reservoir to to Mouth 76.393889 Mouth Headwaters to Little Gordon Headwaters Mahanoy 40.754722 Schuylkill Mahanoy Borough to Mouth Creek 76.344444 Creek Boundary The Commission also will consider the following amendment to the list: Current Sectioning Strategy Proposed Sectioning Strategy Length Mouth Length Mouth County Stream Limits County Stream Limits (miles) Lat/Lon (miles) Lat/Lon Headwaters Headwaters to Mouth to Mouth Sthromes (Confluence Yellow 40.064474 (Confluence 40.226112 Cumberland Hollow Hairy 4.33 Cumberland Breeches 4.33 77.412008 Hairy 76.858887 Run Springs Creek Springs Hollow Hollow Run) Run) * The source of Yellow Breeches Creek, from the headwaters to the confluence of Hairy Springs Hollow Run, was incorrectly identified as Sthromes Hollow Run when Sthromes Hollow Run was added to the Wild Trout Streams list. Sthromes Hollow Run is now being identified as Yellow Breeches Creek. The current listed wild trout limits of Yellow Breeches Creek will encompass what was formerly named Sthromes Hollow Run. This change does not result in additions to the Wild Trout Streams list and is only amending a stream name as new information becomes available. Persons with comments, objections, or suggestions concerning the classification of the streams listed may submit them in writing to the Executive Director, Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, P.O. Box 67000, Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000, within 30 days after publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. Comments submitted by facsimile will not be accepted. Comments also may be submitted electronically by completing the form at www.fishandboat.com/regcomments. If an acknowledgment of electronic comments is not received by the sender within 2 working days, the comments should be retransmitted to ensure receipt. Electronic comments submitted in any other manner will not be accepted. FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION: Timothy D. Schaeffer Executive Director .
