Closed Trout Season in PA

[dryflyguy]

Closing the season here Oct 1 would kill a lot of fishing opportunities for sure,

Most of the streams were too warm to fish over the summer.
And just finally started to cool down again in mid/late sept.
And then close it all down Oct?

Be no point in having fall stockings really.
On the other hand, it would save the fish commission some money , I guess

Dear dryfly,

I wasn't saying my guess was right, it just seemed like a reasonable guess for the timeline.

I don't want fishing season to close in the Fall but agree that harvest season must have limits.

My suggestion of closing October 1st was to pacify the dontfishspawnersreddswarmwaterantiheropicture crowd.

Dear bigjohn,

I'm not answering for everyone, but I think October 1st to Opening Day would most likely be the dates people would have in mind.

Yeah I'm not ok with that...I could do until the new year but any later I'm not in favor of.
