There’s a guy fishing on white clay at the bottom of Auburn Road at Penn Green. None of the numbers I could find on the commission’s website have any human on them.
This was on the general Regs section, and it looked like there was a kid standing next to the guy holding the rod. Sheesh.It's Mentored Youth Fishing Day. There are people fishing all over.
I noticed some adults today on Yellow Breeches who were fishing with no children anywhere in sight. I'm a supporter of the MYFD, but we gripe about this every year (adults fishing without kids on MYFD).
I think what he was getting at was ideally, the kid should have had the rod in hand, not the adult? Just a guess.Sheesh???
It was perfectly legal for kids less than 16 yrs old to be fishing with a mentor in stocked trout waters on this specific day, Mentored Youth Day, intended to get kids out fishing and teach them fishing skills. In a recent year 35,000 kids participated on that day statewide.

Agree. I only take my kids hunting and fishing when the weather is conducive. I don't want their memories being cold and Dad making them be out there. Once they get older hopefully they will enjoy fishing in poor conditions like their Dad.He's 7. He enjoyed last year but I made sure only to take him when the weather was good. Don't want him to be miserable and get turned off to fishing.
