Tim Schaeffer just signaled he is going to grant 13 class A stream stocking exemptions(5 new and 8 renewals) including Penn’s Creek! This was disclosed at the december 23rd hatcheries and fisheries committee meeting 2 days prior to Christmas and WAS NOT listed in the meetings agenda. Further it has been brought to my attention that one pay for play trout club owns property on many of these streams and we are currently trying to find out if they or their property are connected to the sections recieving exemptions. Also an angler survey reveals a solid majority of trout anglers DO NOT want hatchery trout stocked over significant wild populations. This same survey shows access is a big concern for anglers as well. Join us and learn more about whats going on in fisheries management in PA.

Action Alert!

Tell Governor Shapiro & the house/senate game and fish committees an executive director that ignores the angling public, lies in senate hearings, spends the agency into oblivion on stocked fish, and puts all his energy into pandering to special interests won’t be tolerated. TELL THEM ALL TIM SCHAEFFER HAS TO GO!!!
