'Hunting' Fish Will be Legal

Catfish will be legal game for anglers/hunters using bows and arrows, crossbows, spears and gigs, as soon as the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission can publish the regulation change in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

Publication in Pennsylvania Bulletin serves as official notification to the public of the regulation change.

Commissioners also voted to formalize the commission's program of approved trout waters open to year-round fishing.

On the waters open to year-round fishing, anglers may fish from March 1 to the first day of trout season but they may not keep any trout they catch during that period.

They also approved the following list of waters to be included in the year-round program.

Mahoning Creek in Armstrong County, West Creek in Cameron County, Laurel Run in Clearfield County, West and Straight creeks in Elk County, Tionesta Creek in Forest County; Cummins Reservoir in Indian County and Mead Run in McKean County.
