V COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA BOARD OF FISH COMM ISSIONERS HARRISBURG, PA. Fishing Pressure By C. R. BULLER Pennsylvania's Chief Fish Culturist The Angler OME months ago the PENNSYLVANIA ANGLER carried an article explain­ S ing the Board's inventory on the fishing waters of the State. This program consists of the Wardens' collecting certain data in conjunction with their regular patrols of the water areas in their districts. While it will be necessary to collect data over a period of several years before 7<£& *)&&ue . .. any definite conclusions can be drawn, nevertheless, the year's work Page brought to light much useful information. Proof of Pennsylvania's Anti-Pollu­ tion Progress 2 Heretofore there was no way of knowing the fishing pressure on By Ellen A. Dietrich different water areas. Information received from outside sources was + very conflicting. As an example, some few years ago, out of curiosity Suddenly It's Spring 4 only, a record was kept of the number of trout streams throughout the By George W. Forrest State that the sportsmen claimed to be the heaviest fished waters in • the Commonwealth. It showed slightly more than 100 streams which '•"outing in Pennsylvania 5 various groups claimed for this distinction. In a few years the records By Talbott Denmead that are being compiled will definitely show the fishing pressure on the *- various water areas in each section. Highways to Better Fishing .... 6 By James R. Hayes Just what constitutes good fishing is always a debatable question. A * day on a stream may prove very satisfactory to one individual and very The Unique Yellow Breeches Creek 7 disappointing to another. Some fishermen who do not catch the limit By Cock-Y-Bondu are dissatisfied and claim that fishing is no good; others are satisfied • with a few fish. For instance, during the open season for the taking of Curses 8 trout last year, the Board received a conscientious letter from an angler By A. G. Shimmel complaining about trout fishing in a certain stream. Two days later a • letter was received from a fisherman in the same district complimenting AH Outdoors 9 the Board on the good trout fishing in the same stream. Such misleading By Johnny Mock information will not be confusing as the reports sent in by the Wardens * were analyzed and compiled for these reports cover a number of visits Marabou Flickers 10 to each water area and the interviewing of many fishermen. It must be By Donald S. Shiner kept in mind, however, that these reports cover only a small percentage • of the actual fishermen on the streams. Pennsylvania Birds II By Robert Leo Smith During the open season for the taking of trout, extending from April * 15 to July 31 inclusive, the field force made 2,105 separate investigations, Activities of the Sportsmen's covering 11,359 miles of streams, 33,035 anglers were interviewed, and Clubs 12 69,399 were actually counted. Of the anglers interviewed they showed • a total catch of 32,384 takable brook trout, 24,475 takable brown trout, and The Dragonflies 15 16,616 takable rainbow trout, for an average of 2.33 takable trout caught By Carsten Ahrens per person. » to this, records show that the following undersized fish Action Photos 17 In addition By Frank J.

    _ ______ A An Update on P Environmental _ Issues in Environment Digest Pennsylvania Edited By David E. Hess, Holston & Crisci July 17, 2006 Rivers Conservation and Fly Fishing Youth Camp Graduates 32 Thirty-two students graduated from the 12th annual Rivers Conservation and Fly Fishing Youth Camp on June 23, completing a course of study that included subjects such as hydrogeology, wetland study, and benthic macro-invertebrate study. The keynote address was provided by Dr. Robert Behnke, Professor Emeritus of Fisheries Biology at Colorado State University, and one of the premier salmonid biologists in the world. The students also participated in stream habitat restoration on the Yellow Breeches Creek as well as courses in fly tying, casting and fishing techniques. The camp was again held at Allenberry on the Yellow Breeches Resort in Boiling Springs. Amber Mancini of Old Forge was this year's recipient of the Leon Chandler Award. The award is given in memory of the late Mr. Chandler to the student who best exemplifies the qualities demonstrated to previous campers by Leon. Amber exhibited a quiet can-do attitude, showed a willingness to help other students and share her knowledge and went about her tasks quietly. Registrations for the 2007 camp will begin to be accepted on November 1. For more information visit the Rivers Conservation and Fly Fishing Youth Camp website.

  • Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy
    Brook Trout Outcome Management Strategy Introduction Brook Trout symbolize healthy waters because they rely on clean, cold stream habitat and are sensitive to rising stream temperatures, thereby serving as an aquatic version of a “canary in a coal mine”. Brook Trout are also highly prized by recreational anglers and have been designated as the state fish in many eastern states. They are an essential part of the headwater stream ecosystem, an important part of the upper watershed’s natural heritage and a valuable recreational resource. Land trusts in West Virginia, New York and Virginia have found that the possibility of restoring Brook Trout to local streams can act as a motivator for private landowners to take conservation actions, whether it is installing a fence that will exclude livestock from a waterway or putting their land under a conservation easement. The decline of Brook Trout serves as a warning about the health of local waterways and the lands draining to them. More than a century of declining Brook Trout populations has led to lost economic revenue and recreational fishing opportunities in the Bay’s headwaters. Chesapeake Bay Management Strategy: Brook Trout March 16, 2015 - DRAFT I. Goal, Outcome and Baseline This management strategy identifies approaches for achieving the following goal and outcome: Vital Habitats Goal: Restore, enhance and protect a network of land and water habitats to support fish and wildlife, and to afford other public benefits, including water quality, recreational uses and scenic value across the watershed. Brook Trout Outcome: Restore and sustain naturally reproducing Brook Trout populations in Chesapeake Bay headwater streams, with an eight percent increase in occupied habitat by 2025.

  • Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018
    Summary of Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Suspended-Sediment Loads and Trends Measured at the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network Stations for Water Years 2009–2018 Prepared by Douglas L. Moyer and Joel D. Blomquist, U.S. Geological Survey, March 2, 2020 The Chesapeake Bay nontidal network (NTN) currently consists of 123 stations throughout the Chesapeake Bay watershed. Stations are located near U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) stream-flow gages to permit estimates of nutrient and sediment loadings and trends in the amount of loadings delivered downstream. Routine samples are collected monthly, and 8 additional storm-event samples are also collected to obtain a total of 20 samples per year, representing a range of discharge and loading conditions (Chesapeake Bay Program, 2020). The Chesapeake Bay partnership uses results from this monitoring network to focus restoration strategies and track progress in restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Methods Changes in nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from 123 NTN stations (Moyer and Langland, 2020). Constituent loads are calculated with at least 5 years of monitoring data, and trends are reported after at least 10 years of data collection. Additional information for each monitoring station is available through the USGS website “Water-Quality Loads and Trends at Nontidal Monitoring Stations in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed” (https://cbrim.er.usgs.gov/). This website provides State, Federal, and local partners as well as the general public ready access to a wide range of data for nutrient and sediment conditions across the Chesapeake Bay watershed. In this summary, results are reported for the 10-year period from 2009 through 2018.
