"I love a girl with a tramp stamp, a double dock and boat ramp, whiskey shaken never stirred, tank tops and flip flops, those all night long truckstops, and beer when its cold and when its free."

Tim, I agree with your second paragraph.

Foxtrapper, like was said earlier, the PFBC and PGC are run by commissioners and they have the final say. The biolgists can make suggestions but the commissioners don't have to listen to it. It is not a requirement that the commissioners have any type of scientific background. The commissioners are appointed by the governor to represent certain stakeholders. Like Fishtales said, fisheries management not fish management. "Resource First" is a joke.

Here's my take on education. You can only educate those willing to learn. The rest need laws, and laws only work for some of the ignorant. By educating those that want to learn you will increase the awareness of the issues, hopefully creating an appreciation for the resources and thus increasing those monitoring the issues. We are having this discussion, in the first place, because we care about the resources.

As for killing stocked fish, my personal stance is quit stocking anything but warm water and lakes. No place that could even remotely support wild or native trout. Those stocked areas should be the only place to allow the current harvest regs.
Montana especially, and even Spring Creek, should show people the possibilities when stocking is ceased. But alas this is fisheries management.

I agree. But we're constantly told, "It'll never work here...PA isn't Montana."

Yep, that's the standard excuse. Yet Spring Creek is in PA, Penns Creek's Coburn to Weikert section, and various other streams that are not famous.
 
Would it be legal to display the "Pink" button on the back of your banana hammock even while wearing waders?
 
Kray the Hello Kitty button is all the rage in Japan, along with Brookie Sashimi, loundeye.
 
Loundeye...its how japanese say round eye...an old Pittsburgh radio spoof. Bobby Subgum.

Dont mock me roundeye!
 
Loundeye was invented in New Jersey, just rike flied lice, or fishing in Spling Cleeks. I once fished with Klay2 and had a gleat time, but I missed seeing Spricoli. One gleat person I don't get to fish with to often is GulfGleyhound, and I don't catch enough Gefirtle Fish. Loundeye Out.
 
Ploformance, it's Spricori you Jewish plick.

I still say it is the wrong shade of pink.

 
Still laughing. GG
 
I fink that's Falaml Dojo.? Gluff Glahound LOL
 
Lacist!

Chaz, first off nice article. Lets say that I show up at a TU monthly meeting and say I support gas drilling in pa because I believe in the increased jobs and revenues for the state not to mention affordable gas to heat my home. I like a toasty warm home as much as the next guy. I think we can work with the gas company, combine our forces and money and really save the trout fishing for future generations. I happen to believe we can have it all, jobs, trout, heat, and revenue. There has to be a balance for everything and we can achieve this balance. Problem is with the single issue crowd it's all about the trout even though everybody else in the room likes a big honkin truck, a job, increased revenue and a warm house.

Lets say I propose getting rid of all the artificial this and that only rules and lets work to get every stream, not just trout streams, up to snuff for all anglers including the dreaded bait fishermen. That would go over well wouldn't it. I happen to believe in that as well.

I am to totally opposed to stocking trout in warm water streams. Why not put warm water fish in the warm water streams and put the trout in the cold water streams. That might have the perceived negative effect of us city folk coming to your happy area of the state to fill our desire to trout fish.

I can see just on this little site the hatred some have for my views let alone at a TU meeting, riverkeepers luncheon, or other conservation group who are only concerned about one little sliver of life all the while enjoying all other slivers of life. It's an intolerant crowd and this cannot be argued.

I like pink. I may buy one.

Okay, now I understand, and I mostly agree with you. I dislike very much the idea that there are only 2 sides to any issue as portrayed by most people involved in stating their case. I view it as a reflection of the way the whole country has been polarized by the press, politics and people with an axe to grind without knowing what they are talking about, that doesn't include you as I would not want to offend.
I for one think the best approach to the gas issue is not the hell no approach, but a let's see how we can work on this together to come to a mutually best outcome for conservation and trout, and rivers and streams in general.
Where are you from, I'd sure like to have you coming to our T. U. meetings.

Agree completely with Chaz above. I will add, safely extracting natural gas from the ground is in everyone's interest. NG is a cleaner burning and cheaper resource that can and will benefit everyone.

With that being said, the gas rush we've had in PA has been mishandled, fumbled and bumbled. No planning and not enough safety measures in place to protect the homeowners, citizens or the environment. Hopefully we will hit the "reset button" with a new administration and get things turned around.
 
TU has never taken a no natural gas exploration position in the past, and has not taken that position in regard to Marcellus gas exploration.
