Pennsylvania trout anglers are receiving a bonus of sorts – 21,000 additional trout. The fish are “extras” raised under contract by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s Lamar National Fish Hatchery andNortheast Fishery Center. The center is under contract to provide the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) with 100,000 adult trout annually. The additional fish represent a surplus – and extra opportunities. “Raising fish is not like cranking pieces out on an assembly line. It’s a live product and production goals are generally established as a range rather than an exact figure. In this case, production came out on the high end of the range. As a result, we’re able to add some additional stockings in some suitable waters,” said Brian Wisner, Director of Fish Production for the PFBC. The first of those stockings came today, with fish planted in section 3 of the Brodhead Creek, Monroe County; Section 4 ofthe Nesquehoning Creek in Carbon County; and Section 4 of Pohopoco Creek, alsoin Carbon County. Stockings are planned for June 20 in sections 13 and 14 of Fishing Creek, Clinton County, and June 21 in Section 3 of Kinzua Creek,South Branch in McKean County. Several additional stockings are in the planning stages. To locate these stream sections and other great fishing destinations, click on the “County Guides”section of the PFBC web site at www.fishandboat.com.

My wife and kids think I live up there and within five years I will be living up there. I travel 150 up and back from Pittsburgh every weekend. My place is on the Allegheny River three miles below the dam and yes there are some big trout in these waters. Both the South Branch and Kinzua Creek are providing alot of catching opportunities currently.
