FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION Closure to Public Fishing; Section of Muddy Creek, York County [27 Pa.B. 2090] The Executive Director of the Fish and Boat Commission, acting under the authority of 58 Pa. Code § 65.25, is taking action to close a small section of Muddy Creek in Muddy Creek Forks, York County, to public fishing on May 8, 9 and 10, 1997.
The Pennsylvania Film Office has requested the cooperation of the Fish and Boat Commission in closing a small section of Muddy Creek in connection with the production of a film at this site. The Fish and Boat Commission has been informed that all roads in the immediate vicinity will be closed to traffic on the dates in question and that the Muddy Creek Forks area will be filled with a great deal of film equipment. Under these circumstances limiting safe public access to this area, the Executive Director finds that this closure to public fishing is necessary and appropriate for the health and safety of persons who fish.
Muddy Creek is an approved trout water and is stocked with trout. The Fish and Boat Commission has reviewed the stocking schedule for this stream to ensure that this brief closure of a small section of stream does not impair fishing opportunities for stocked trout.
Accordingly, a section of Muddy Creek, 100 yards upstream and downstream of the country store in Muddy Creeks Fork, is closed to public fishing from 12:01 a.m. on May 8, 1997 until midnight on May 10, 1997.
