Been looking at the state regs in regards to to catch and release FFO sections... this is what I've found: (copied directly from the PFBC site)
• Open to fishing year-round.
• Fishing is permitted on a 24-hour basis.
• No trout may be killed or had in possession.
• Fishing may be done with artificial flies and streamers
constructed of natural or synthetic materials, so
long as all flies are constructed in a normal fashion with
components wound on or about the hook. Anything
other than these items is prohibited.
• Taking baitfish or fishbait is prohibited.
• Wading is permitted unless otherwise posted.
• An angler in a boat may possess bait and fish
caught in compliance with the seasons, sizes and
creel limits in effect for a water from which it was taken,
provided that the boat angler floats through the Catch
and Release Fly-Fishing Only area without stopping or
engaging in the act of fishing or the boat angler puts
in or takes out his boat at an access point within the
Catch and Release Fly-Fishing Only area.
• A current trout/salmon permit is required.
As we all know, an angler can fish "flies or streamers" quite successfully on spinning gear... Is this legal in FFO regulated stream sections here in PA?
