Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program

[44 Pa.B. 2352]
[Saturday, April 12, 2014]

 The Executive Director of the Fish and Boat Commission (Commission), acting under the authority of 58 Pa. Code § 65.25 (relating to temporary changes to fishing regulations), at 43 Pa.B. 7603 (December 28, 2013) and 44 Pa.B. 973 (February 15, 2014), previously took immediate action to allow individuals participating in the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program to fish for trout on March 22, and April 5, 2014, beginning at 8 a.m. and ending at 7:30 p.m., on waters designated by the Executive Director that are normally closed to trout fishing on those dates. The Executive Director subsequently cancelled both days because the waters included in the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program were covered in ice and were not expected to completely thaw in advance of the program.

 Now acting under the authority of 58 Pa. Code § 65.20 (relating to Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program) which went into effect on March 22, 2014 at 44 Pa.B. 1764 (March 22, 2014), the Executive Director has designated May 10, 2014, as a Mentored Youth Fishing Day for trout. This designation will be effective upon publication of this notice in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.

 To participate, anglers 16 years of age or older (adult anglers) must possess a valid Pennsylvania fishing license and current trout/salmon permit and be accompanied by a youth (less than 16 years of age) who has obtained a mentored youth permit or a voluntary youth license from the Commission. Youth anglers must obtain a mentored youth permit or a voluntary youth license from the Commission and be accompanied by an adult angler to participate.

 The minimum size will be 7 inches; the creel limit will be 2 trout (combined species). Other Commonwealth inland regulations will apply. It is unlawful to fish in waters designated as part of the Mentored Youth Fishing Day Program except in compliance with the requirements of 58 Pa. Code § 65.20 when participating in the program.

 From 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m., the identified waters will be open only to program participants. After 7:30 p.m., the waters will be open to all licensed anglers. To ensure that plenty of stocked trout are available to anglers on the Mentored Youth Fishing Day, all program waters will be closed to fishing from 12 p.m. on May 9, 2014, until 8 a.m. on May 10, 2014.
