Classification of Wild Trout Streams; Adjustment to List [41 Pa.B. 1293]
[Saturday, March 5, 2011]The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has approved an adjustment to its list of wild trout streams as published at 40 Pa.B. 7305 (December 18, 2010). Specifically, the Commission extended the wild trout stream limits of the Little Juniata River to include an area that extends approximately 19.7 miles further downstream to the Barree Road Bridge (SR 4004). As revised, the limits are from the headwaters downstream to the Barree Road Bridge (SR 4004).
Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.11 (relating to listing of wild trout streams), it is the policy of the Commission to accurately identify and classify stream sections supporting naturally reproducing populations of trout as wild trout streams. 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. The Commission's Fisheries Management Division maintains the complete list of wild trout streams, and it is available on the Commission's web site at http://www.fish.state.pa.us/trout_repro.htm.
