Notice Temporary Changes to Fishing Regulations Mentored Youth Notice Temporary Changes to Fishing Regulations Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program The Executive Director of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission), acting under the authority of 58 Pa. Code §65.25 (relating to temporary changes to fishing regulations), has taken immediate action to allow individuals participating in the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program to fish for trout on March 22, and April 5, 2014, beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m., on waters designated by the Executive Director that are normally closed to trout fishing on those dates. To participate, anglers 16 years of age or older (adult anglers) must possess a valid Pennsylvania fishing license and current trout/salmon permit and be accompanied by a youth (less than 16 years of age) who has obtained a permit from the Commission. Youth anglers must obtain a permit from the Commission and be accompanied by an adult angler in order to participate. The minimum size will be 7 inches; the creel limit will be 2 trout (combined species). Other Commonwealth inland regulations will apply. It is unlawful for adult anglers to fish in waters designated under the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program without a valid fishing license and trout permit and without being accompanied by a youth who has a permit. The waters included in the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program on March 22, 2014 are: County Water Berks Antietam Lake Berks Scotts Run Lake – French Creek State Park Bucks Levittown Lake Cumberland Children’s Lake Cumberland Doubling Gap Lake – Colonel Denning State Park Dauphin Middletown Reservoir Lebanon Lions Lake Lehigh Lehigh Canal, Section 08 County Water Montgomery Deep Creek Dam – Green Lane Park Perry Little Buffalo Lake – Little Buffalo State Park Schuylkill Locust Lake The waters included in the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program on April 5, 2014 are: County Water Allegheny North Park Lake Butler Harbar Acres Lake Cambria Lake Rowena Centre Cold Stream Dam Clearfield Janesville Dam Clearfield Parker Lake – Parker Dam State Park Columbia Briar Creek Lake Elk Twin Lakes Erie East and West Basin Ponds – Presque Isle State Park Erie Upper Gravel Pit Fayette Dunlap Creek Lake Fulton Cowans Gap Lake – Cowans Gap State Park Huntingdon Whipple Lake – Whipple Dam State Park Jefferson Cloe Lake Lackawanna Eston Wilson Lake Luzerne Lake Frances – Nescopeck State Park Lycoming Little Pine Lake McKean Hamlin Lake Mercer Buhl Lake Monroe Hidden Lake Pike Lily Pond Potter Lyman Run Reservoir – Lyman Run State Park Somerset Laurel Hill Lake – Laurel Hill State Park Tioga Hamilton Lake Union Halfway Lake – RB Winter State Park Warren Chapman Dam Reservoir – Chapman State Park Washington Canonsburg Lake Westmoreland Mammoth Lake Westmoreland Twin Lakes Number One Reservoir (Lower) The Executive Director will cause this temporary modification to fishing regulations to be posted in the vicinity of the affected waters, and the modified regulation will be fully effective and enforceable. The Executive Director has found that this action is necessary and appropriate to conserve and preserve fishing opportunities. This temporary modification will go into effect on January 1, 2014 and will remain in effect until the Commission, by appropriate action, amends its regulations to create a Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program. In the absence of such action, the temporary modification will expire on December 31, 2014. FOR THE PENNSYLVANIA FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION: John A. Arway Executive Director .

    Paddle a Loop around Presque Isle Bay About the author Linda Steiner, originally from Oradell, NJ, currently lives near Cooperstown, Venango County, where she has resided for 30 years. She has been contributing to the magazine since 1972, originally providing illustrations for articles and later writing her own articles. Steiner recalls an experience on a cold, windy winter day on Steiner photo-Bob an Erie County steelhead stream. Linda and her husband, Bob, were the only ones on the water that day. The two seasoned outdoor writers did not bring a camera to photograph their catches, including very good steelhead and big lake-run Brown Trout. Without a camera, they concentrated on the moment by Linda Steiner and enjoyed a private day on an otherwise public stretch of steelhead stream. The next day, they returned to the stream Presque Isle State Park, Erie County, is home to with cameras. The usual large crowd was there, so they decided Pennsylvania’s most-visited state park, so paddlers will not to fish.

  • FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020
    Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry PENNSYLVANIA WEEKLY FALL FOLIAGE REPORT October 1 – October 7, 2020 TIOGA CAMERON BRADFORD To predict peak season from the colors, use these guidelines: ➢ Dark Green/No Change= peak is three weeks to a month away ➢ Light Green/Starting to Change= peak is approximately two to three weeks away ➢ Yellow/Approaching Best Color= peak is approximately one week away ➢ Orange/Best Color= foliage is peaking this week ➢ Red/Starting to Fade= still some nice color but won’t last more than a few more days ➢ Brown/Past Peak= all or nearly all color is gone Statewide Fall Foliage Overview What a difference a week makes! Cold and frosty nights and very dry conditions have ushered in marked changes across the northern tier, where foliage is at its spectacular peak. Sugar and red maples are the stars of the show, contrasting beautifully with the still-green oak canopies. Another cold snap could jumpstart much of the Appalachian and Allegheny mountain regions, setting the table for back to back weeks of fantastic fall foliage viewing opportunities across wide swaths of the commonwealth. Northwestern Region The district manager in Cornplanter State Forest District (Warren, Erie counties) reports that cooler nights have spurred fall colors in northwest Pennsylvania. Many oaks are still quite green, but maples (sugar and red) are displaying brilliant colors. Aspen, hickory, and birch are continuing to color the landscape with warm yellow hues. Route 6 to Chapman State Park is a recommended fall foliage corridor in Warren County. Exciting fall color can be found at Chapman State Park.

  • The Keystone State's Cial Boating Magazine
    The Keystone State's cial Boating Magazine • VIEWPOINT BOATING ACCESSES On June 20, 1986, the Fish Commission formally opened a new boat launching area at the site of the old Frankford Arsenal in Philadelphia. This opening was the culmination of years of effort to provide a place for residents of southeastern Pennsylvania to launch their boats onto the Delaware River. Declared surplus by the federal government in 1981, the Commission received title to approximately 19 acres of waterfront property. A design for an area that would eventually accommodate 350 car/trailers was developed. Construction was scheduled to be accomplished in phases, and the first two phases were completed this spring. The area currently has room for 190 car/trailers and has three two-lane launch ramps and courtesy boarding docks. Twenty-four-hour security has been provided on the site, although the area is currently closed from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. Reports indicate that this much needed access is receiving the use that was expected and will in future years become a very important part of boating in Philadelphia. While this access and others under construction in Cowanshannock in Armstrong County and Chillisquaque in Northumberland County are meeting some local needs, a recently completed conference of state and federal agencies involved in the development of boat launches and marinas held in Detroit has concluded that good boating facilities are sorely needed in many areas. It is estimated that there are currently about 16,000 public launch sites nationwide. The phenomenal growth in boating recreation, however, will place demand on facilities to quadruple the number of sites currently available by the year 2000.

  • DCNR Moves to Open State Park Swimming Beaches, Pools
    DCNR Moves to Open State Park Swimming Beaches, Pools Harrisburg, PA – Today, Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn announced a phased opening of all state park swimming beaches and some pools in keeping with Governor Wolf’s direction to ensure Pennsylvanians have opportunities to safely enjoy outdoor recreation and help maintain positive physical and mental health. Effective June 6, all 58 state park beaches will be open to swimming. State park pools will remain closed through at least June 12, with most in designated yellow and green counties reopening June 13. “Water-based activity is an integral part of the state park experience in Pennsylvania and, with appropriate protocols in place to ensure safety and as staffing permits, this department continues to reopen its state parks and forests so that Pennsylvanians can realize all the benefits of being outdoors,” Dunn said. Capacity at beaches and pools will be limited to 50 percent of the normal facility capacity, the secretary noted. Mitigation measures will be in place, including restricting visitor parking, controlling facility access, social distancing and the wearing of face masks when not in the water. All CDC guidance remains in effect. Dunn reminded visitors lifeguards are on duty at beaches at two state parks: Fuller Lake, at Pine Grove Furnace State Park, Cumberland County, and Presque Isle State Park, Erie County. Because of necessary maintenance work, swimming pools at Ryerson Station State Park, Greene County, and Codorus State Park, York County will not be opening for the 2020 season. Meanwhile, in a related development as the latest counties were announced as yellow, Dunn said facilities would be reopening at 18 state parks in eight counties.
