Now you’ve pretty much answered one of your own queries. This is precisely why special regs for wild trout, including C&R, are unnecessary nearly everywhere in Pa. I’m willing to agree that there are probably some very limited exceptions, primarily in some of the existing special reg wild trout streams, but then you have to ask if that would be the case if there were no special regs on some of those waters, given the number of anglers who focus seemingly only on special reg waters. But, broadly speaking, that’s why I said “nearly everywhere.”
