Code § 65.9. There was a minor problem with the definition of the limits on the Juniata River, however, because of the location of the available public facilities to launch and retrieve boats. To correct this problem, an additional 2 mile section of the Juniata River is now subject to the Big Bass regulations. The limits of the section of the lower Juniata River subject to the Big Bass Special Regulations (58 Pa. Code § 65.9) are redefined as follows:
