Temporary Changes to Fishing Regulations; South Branch Roaring Creek, Columbia and Northumberland Counties

[34 Pa.B. 456]

   The Deputy 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 modify temporary fishing regulations to permit catch and release only of all species on waters located in the Wyoming State Forest, Columbia and Northumberland Counties. The waters affected are the segment of South Branch Roaring Creek and the three impoundments that are upstream of the bridge on State Route 3008 at Bear Gap. These temporary modifications will go into effect immediately and will remain in effect until further notice but in no event will they remain in place after January 1, 2005.

   The Deputy Executive Director has found that this action is necessary and appropriate for the protection, preservation and management of fish. The Deputy Executive Director has caused these temporary modifications to fishing regulations to be posted in the vicinity of the waters affected. The modified regulations are fully effective and enforceable.
