Randy,
Anyone that knows you knows just how out of line this guys was! What a shame he didn't take a few moments just to sit and talk toyou about the issue. Would have kept him from looking like an Onager!

This the regulation for the type of stream Randy is talking about:

Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only:

? Open to fishing year-round (no closed
season).
? Fishing hours ? One hour before sunrise
to one hour after sunset.
? Minimum size ? 9 inches, caught on, or in
possession on, the waters under these regulations
from one hour before sunrise on June 15
to one hour after sunset on Labor Day.
? The daily creel limit is three combined species
from one hour before sunrise on June 15
to one hour after sunset on Labor Day, caught
on or in possession on the waters under these
regulations. From the day after Labor Day until
one hour before sunrise on June 15, the daily
creel limit is zero.
? Fishing may be done with artificial lures only
constructed of metal, plastic, rubber or wood, or
with flies and streamers constructed of natural or
synthetic materials. All such lures may be used
with spinning or fly fishing gear.
? The use or possession of any natural bait,
baitfish, fishbait, bait paste and similar substances,
fish eggs (natural or molded) or any other edible,
substance is prohibited.
? Taking baitfish or fishbait is prohibited.
? A current trout/salmon permit is required.

This guy had to be abut as smart as a trout. He is allowed to fish that stream year round with fly or spin gear. My bet is the axe he wanted to grind had more to do with not being allowed to use bait and having to practice C&R.

Everywhere I have lived in this state good fishing opportunists were never more than a mile or two away with many much closer than that. That think about it being the only place I can fish in Pa just does not hold water, pardon the pun.

If you read it then you know why Randy has every right to be put off a bit by this guy. Randy I'm with you on this.
