Notice Classification of Wild Trout Streams Proposed Additions, Adjustments and Removals May 2014

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 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 May 5 and 6, 2014, 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 Stream Name Tributary To Section Limits Armstrong Foundry Run Mahoning Creek Lake Headwaters to mouth Carbon Nis Hollow Lehigh River Headwaters to mouth SR 0144 downstream to Centre Potter Run Sinking Creek mouth Crawford DeWolfe Run Marsh Run Headwaters to mouth Elk Sawmill Run Little Toby Creek Headwaters to mouth Headwaters downstream to 1.0 km downstream of East Branch Mahoning Branch Road (T-622) Jefferson Creek Mahoning Creek Bridge Lackawanna Hagen Run Pond Creek Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Reibsan Run Plunketts Creek Headwaters to mouth Confluence of Moss Creek West Branch downstream to confluence Northumberland Susquehanna River of Peg Run North Branch South Fork South Fork Bens Somerset Bens Creek Creek Headwaters to mouth Sullivan Smith Cabin Run North Branch Headwaters to mouth
