Many streams Pennsylvania often offer great fishing opportunities in also offer excellent smallmouth bass fishing. 6 Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • May/June 2012 www.fishandboat.com Kayaking Small Streams in Pennsylvania While old bridges and logjams may be scenic in the sunset, like this spot on Swatara Creek near Hershey, they can also be hazardous to paddlers. Steer a wide path around strainers and avoid paddling next to bridge pilings. Small stream kayaking safety While kayaking can be a blast on small streams in Pennsylvania, safety should always be your number one concern. On small streams, capsizing your kayak is a very real possibility. Always wear your life jacket while kayaking, and be ready to take the plunge when it happens. Wear a helmet and a paddling jacket to protect you from injury and hypothermia on the water as well. Prepare for your trip by checking the water level on the stream that you’re going to paddle. If you can, consult a local paddling shop to ask what the best water levels are for your destination area. A knowledgeable shop may also be able to give you pointers on the best sections to paddle and safe put in and take out points. While some streams can be paddled most of the time, some are only floatable after some rain. These streams, usually smaller ones, should be attempted Kayakers paddle the Lackawaxen River, an excellent eastern only by more advanced paddlers. Flooding streams can be Pennsylvania paddling option in Wayne and Pike counties. dangerous, bring in debris, alter channels and create strainers. Strainers are one of the biggest safety concerns on small streams. A strainer is any obstruction like a tree that allows What’s the best boat? water to pass through it but not objects such as a kayaker If you’ve got limited options, the best kayak to take down or boat. If you see a strainer blocking a stream that you are your local stream or river is the one that you can access. If paddling, bring your boat to shore, get out and assess the best you’re choosing a kayak, test paddle some to see which are way to navigate around it. Often, this may involve portaging comfortable. Both sit-inside and sit-on-top kayaks can work your boat around the strainer. Rapids, narrow chutes, bridges in small stream situations. Smaller, shorter sit-inside boats and low-head dams are among other dangerous impediments have greater maneuverability and can keep you dryer with on small streams. All should be given a wide berth or portaged spray skirts. Mid-length recreational sit-inside kayaks are a around as appropriate. For information on hazards on the great option for most reaches. Very short whitewater kayaks water and recommendations on dealing with these dangerous can be useful on more technical small stream routes best situations, refer to the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission’s suited to experienced paddlers. website at www.fishandboat.com. www.fishandboat.com Pennsylvania Angler & Boater • May/June 2012 7 Where to paddle There are literally hundreds of small streams in Pennsylvania that are great paddling options. Start by exploring familiar streams that are close to home. Choose your route by looking at the length of the stream that you would like to paddle. Then, find appropriate, safe locations to launch and retrieve your craft. If you cross private lands to boat, remember to ask for permission. The average length of a paddling route on a small stream in Pennsylvania is about ten miles. This should take about five hours to boat, depending on how often you pause, fish or relax. Some streams may be faster since they flow quickly due to their higher gradient, like Pine Creek in Pennsylvania’s Grand Canyon, Tioga County. Find the best ones near you by consulting your atlas, paddling shop or “Keystone Canoeing” by Edward Gertler. This book details hundreds of paddling routes in Pennsylvania and gives realistic estimates of the skill needed to navigate many small streams. Another option to explore to find paddling streams near you are Pennsylvania’s Water Trails. The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission along with the Pennsylvania Department of Within a four-minute drive of millions of Conservation and Natural Resources has created and maintains Pennsylvania residents, the Tulpehocken a list of designated water trails in the Commonwealth. Most of Creek in Lebanon County is just one of many these trails have maps and informational brochures that detail southeastern Pennsylvania streams that offer locations of accesses, hazards, local amenities and more. While good kayaking. Like many smaller Pennsylvania Pennsylvania’s 21 water trails cover many large waters, small and streams, there are dams to be portaged. Be medium sized streams like the Yellow Breeches Creek Water Trail, prepared to exit the water to safely bypass these Swatara Creek Water Trail, Upper Juniata River Water Trail and dangerous obstacles. others are listed.

  • Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions and Revisions January 2019
    Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions and Revisions January 2019 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 14 and 15, 2019, 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 UNT to Chest 40.594383 Cambria Headwaters to Mouth Chest Creek Creek (RM 30.83) 78.650396 Hubbard Hollow 41.481914 Cameron Headwaters to Mouth West Creek Run 78.375513 40.945831 Carbon Hazle Creek Headwaters to Mouth Black Creek 75.847221 Headwaters to SR 41.137289 Clearfield Slab Run Sandy Lick Creek 219 Bridge 78.789462 UNT to Chest 40.860565 Clearfield Headwaters to Mouth Chest Creek Creek (RM 1.79) 78.707129 41.132038 Clinton

  • 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.

  • Lower Subbasin Survey Year-1
    Susquehanna River Basin Commission Lower Susquehanna River Subbasin Publication 282 Year-1 Survey September 2012 A Water Quality and Biological Assessment April - July 2011 Report by Ellyn Campbell Supervisor, Monitoring and Assessment SRBC • 1721 N. Front St. • Harrisburg, PA 17102-2391 • 717-238-0423 • 717-238-2436 Fax • www.srbc.net 1 Introduction The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) conducted a survey of the Lower Susquehanna River Subbasin from April through July 2011. This survey was conducted through SRBC’s Subbasin Survey Program, which is funded in part through the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This program consists of two-year assessments in each of the six major subbasins (Figure 1) on a rotating schedule. The goals of this Year-1 survey were to collect one-time samples of the macroinvertebrate community, habitat, and water quality at 104 sites in the major tributaries and areas of interest throughout the Lower Susquehanna River Subbasin. The Year-2 survey, which is a more focused, in-depth study of a select area, will follow in late 2013 and be focused on the three major reservoirs comprising the last 45 miles of the Susquehanna River—Lake Clarke, Lake Aldred, and Conowingo Pond. Previous surveys of the Lower Susquehanna River Subbasin were conducted in 1985 (McMorran, 1986), 1996 (Traver, 1997), and 2005 (Buda, 2006). A comparison of the 1996 and 2005 data along with the 2011 results is included in this report. Subbasin survey information is used by SRBC staff and others to: • evaluate the chemical, biological, and habitat conditions of streams in the basin; Figure 1.
