FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION Change to Wilderness Trout Stream Designation [31 Pa.B. 710] Notice is hereby given that Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has extended the wilderness trout stream designation of East Hickory Creek in Warren County. Previously, a 5.6 mile section of East Hickory Creek from the headwaters downstream to the confluence with Middle Hickory Creek was managed for wild trout under 58 Pa. Code § 57.4 (relating to wilderness trout streams). This section of stream is located within the boundaries of the Allegheny National Forest and is part of the Hickory Creek Wilderness Area. The lower boundary of the Hickory Creek Wilderness Area is the Allegheny National Forest Road 119 Bridge, which is located 1.6 miles downstream of the confluence with Middle Hickory Creek. In the interest of providing a common boundary for wilderness management programs, the United States Forest Service requested that the Commission extend the length of its wilderness trout stream designation on this water. Accordingly, the Commission has extended the wilderness trout stream designation on East Hickory Creek downstream for a distance of 1.6 miles to the Allegheny National Forest Road 119 Bridge. The revised limits extend from the headwaters downstream to the Allegheny National Forest Road 119 Bridge, for a distance of 7.2 miles. This change will go into effect upon publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
