Classification of Wild Trout Proposed Additions, Revisions, and Removals January 2017

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 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 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 23 and 24, 2017, 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:
