  • Designation of Water Subject to Special Fishing Regulations

    [28 Pa.B. 4300]

       On April 4, 1998, the Executive Director of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission), exercising his authority under 58 Pa. Code § 65.25 (relating to temporary changes to fishing regulations), took immediate action to temporarily modify fishing regulations to conserve and preserve fishing opportunities on Little Lehigh Creek, Lehigh County. Specifically, the Executive Director temporarily modified special regulations applicable to Little Lehigh Creek as follows:

       (a)  A 1.8 mile section of the Little Lehigh Creek (Lehigh County) from a bridge on T-508 (Wild Cherry Lane) downstream to a bridge on T-510 (Mill Race Road) will be governed by ''Delayed-Harvest, Fly-Fishing Only'' regulations set forth in 58 Pa. Code § 65.2 instead of ''Delayed-Harvest, Artificial Lures Only'' regulations.

       (b)  A 0.3 mile section of the Little Lehigh Creek (Lehigh County) from a bridge on SR 2017 (Brookside Road) downstream to a bridge on T-508 (Wild Cherry Lane) will be governed by Statewide fishing regulations (58 Pa. Code § 61.1) instead of ''Delayed-Harvest, Artificial Lures Only'' special regulations.

       In accordance with 58 Pa. Code § 65.25(b), the members of the Commission considered the special regulation status of these stream sections at their next regular meeting. Notice is hereby given that the members of the Commission approved the special regulations status of the streams sections as set forth above.
