PFBC proposes less oversight for Class A stockings.

[Cznymph]

So, the 13 sections that PFBC will continue to stock are under C & R regs for wild trout but sections that clubs would stock wouldn't receive the C& R regs on wild trout under this proposal. Am I understanding that right?

I’m not aware of any regulations that differentiate daily bag limits between wild and stocked trout. Are some of these stocked Class A sections catch and release for all trout?

I’m no longer able to find a list of the 13 class A sections that are stocked.

The only situation I think that would have been similar would have been the brook trout enhancement waters of days gone by, where it was prohibited to harvest brook trout.

I'm thinking it was a new thing for 2024 those sections were managed under Catch and Release Brown Trout.

You are correct.

I don’t ever fish any of those streams listed as brown trout C and R, but I do recall hearing of the regulation change in recent memory.

I fished a few of them when living in York Co and traveling to Potter Co because they were on the way and broke up the ride. Now that I live in Elk Co. they're out of the way.
