FISH AND BOAT COMMISSION Changes to List of Class A Wild Trout Waters--2005 [35 Pa.B. 2966] The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) has approved the additions to the list of Class A Wild Trout Streams as set forth at 34 Pa.B. 6730 (December 18, 2004) and restated at 35 Pa.B. 1486 (February 26, 2005) with the exception of sections of Plum Creek and Halter Creek in Blair County. The Commission notes that the 2.8-mile section of Ontelaunee Creek, from the headwaters downstream to the SR 4024 bridge, is located in Lehigh County, not Berks County, as indicated in the prior notices.
Under 58 Pa. Code § 57.8a (relating to Class A wild trout streams), it is the Commission's policy to manage self-sustaining Class A wild trout populations as a renewable natural resource and to conserve that resource and the angling that it provides. Class A wild trout populations represent the best of this Commonwealth's naturally reproducing trout fisheries. The Commission manages these stream sections for wild trout with no stocking.
