  • Pennsylvania ^--E
    June 1990/$!.50 Pennsylvania The Keystone States Official Fishing Magazine ^--e :r% Straight Talk This issue of the Angler is dedicated entirely to bass fishing for an important reason. Interest in bass fishing in Pennsylvania has been increasing in recent years, and it has become one of the most desired angling opportunities in the state. This change in fishing interest and the diversity of opportunities anglers and boaters seek will play an important part in how Pennsylvania's fishery resources are managed in the future. As the Fish Commission begins a major planning effort for managing the fishing and boating resources of the state into the 21st century, one of its goals is to become more responsive to your needs as a resource user. Commission biologists have spent the last two decades gaining a better under­ standing of the potentials and limitations of the Commonwealth's aquatic re­ sources. The Fish Commission is more aware of the many problems the resource faces from the continued demands placed on it. It is time to use this knowledge to plan for the future use and protection of fish and boating re­ sources statewide. It is also time to inform every citizen about resource prob­ lems and management alternatives. If you drink a glass of water in a restaurant in Philadelphia or hook a steel- Responsive Management head on the shore of Lake Erie, you are a resource user who relies on the continued protection and quality of that resource. Every user should be knowl­ edgeable and concerned about the quality and management of the water resources in Pennsylvania.
