Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Proposed Additions; May 2015 [45 Pa.B. 1041]
[Saturday, February 28, 2015]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 May 4 and 5, 2015, 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 Cameron UNT to Wykoff Run (24056) Wykoff Run Headwaters to mouth Cameron UNT to Wykoff Run (24061) Wykoff Run Headwaters to mouth Cameron UNT to Wykoff Run (24062) Wykoff Run Headwaters to mouth Cameron UNT to Wykoff Run (24064) Wykoff Run Headwaters to mouth Carbon UNT to Lehigh Canal RM 40.42 (Weissport) Lehigh Canal Headwaters to mouth Centre UNT to Penns Creek (Green Briar Gap) Penns Creek Headwaters to mouth Clarion UNT to Mill Creek (RM 3.63) Mill Creek Headwaters to mouth Clearfield UNT to Moose Creek (Shed Antler Hollow) Moose Creek Headwaters to mouth Clinton UNT to Young Womans Creek (Sevenmile Hollow) Young Womans Creek Headwaters to mouth Fayette Ramcat Run Youghiogheny River Headwaters to mouth Forest Troutman Run Clarion River Headwaters to mouth Forest Piney Run Tionesta Creek Headwaters to mouth Forest Mccauley Run East Branch Hemlock Creek Headwaters to mouth Huntingdon UNT to Standing Stone Creek (RM 15.36) Standing Stone Creek Headwaters to mouth Huntingdon Croyle Run Greenlee Run Headwaters to mouth Huntingdon Greenlee Run Standing Stone Creek Headwaters to mouth Huntingdon Roaring Run Shaver Creek Headwaters to mouth Huntingdon Shingletown Branch Laurel Run Headwaters to mouth Indiana Mardis Run Blacklick Creek Headwaters to mouth Jefferson UNT to Mill Creek (RM 14.80) Mill Creek Headwaters to mouth Jefferson Kyle Run Little Mill Creek Headwaters to mouth Jefferson UNT to Little Mill Creek (RM 6.45) Little Mill Creek Headwaters to mouth Lancaster Haines Branch Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth Lancaster UNT to Susquehanna River (Wild Pres Road/Bald Eagle Road) Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth Lancaster Wissler Run Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth Luzerne Coal Creek North Branch Susquehanna River Headwaters downstream to Plymouth Borough Line Lycoming Grandad Run Hessler Branch Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Shingle Run Bear Creek Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Snake Run Bear Creek Headwaters to mouth Lycoming South Fork Bear Creek Bear Creek Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Buckeye Run Otter Run Headwaters to mouth Lycoming Greens Hollow Run Mill Creek (Montoursville) Headwaters to mouth Monroe High Swamp Run Bush Kill Headwaters to mouth Northampton UNT to Lehigh Canal (RM 2.18) Lehigh Canal Headwaters to mouth Somerset Drake Run Youghiogheny River Headwaters to mouth Sullivan Joes Run Loyalsock Creek Headwaters to mouth Sullivan Huckle Run Loyalsock Creek Headwaters to mouth Union Green Gap Run Weikert Run Headwaters to mouth York UNT to Susquehanna River (Atom Road) Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth York Anderson Run Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth York Green Branch Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth York Robinson Run Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth York UNT to Susquehanna River (Cold Cabin Road) Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth York Cuffs Run Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth York Wilson Run Susquehanna River Headwaters to mouth Persons with comments, objections or suggestions concerning the classification of the streams listed may submit them in writing to the Executive Director, Fish and Boat Commission, P.
