Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - March/April 2021 - 11

Charleston Creek, Tioga County
Located in the Borough of Wellsboro, a 2.1-mile section
of stream extending from the outflow of Hamilton Lake
downstream to the mouth will be added to the adult trout
stocking program. Brown Trout and Rainbow Trout will be
stocked during the preseason and inseason stocking periods.
First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek, Potter County
An inseason stocking will be added to the 4.1-mile section of
stream extending from the confluence of Prouty Run and Borie
Branch downstream to Gravel Lick Run. Formerly, this water
had been stocked on a preseason only basis.
Kinzua Creek, McKean County
Due to a change in management strategy, a stocked portion
of the stream was extended 0.3-mile upstream. The revised
stocking limits will extend 5.3 miles from the Allegheny
National Forest boundary near Westline to approximately
0.1 mile downstream of the State Route 321 bridge.
Little Pine Creek, Lycoming County
Due to improved access, the stocked portion of the stream
was extended 0.4-mile upstream. The revised stocking limits
will extend 1.7 miles from the State Game Lands boundary 0.4
mile upstream from Bonnell Run downstream to English Run
(English Center).
Middle Creek, Snyder County
Due to a change in management strategy, a stocked
portion of the stream was extended 0.6-mile upstream. The
revised stocking limits will extend 8.2 miles from 0.6 mile
upstream from Covered Bridge Road downstream to 0.5 mile
downstream of the State Route 522 bridge in Middleburg.
Peters Creek, Allegheny County
Located near the City of Clairton, a 5.4-mile section of
stream extending from Piney Fork downstream to the bend
downstream of Montour Trail parking area will be added to
the adult trout stocking program. Brown Trout and Rainbow
Trout will be stocked during the preseason and inseason
stocking periods.
Stony Fork, Tioga County

Waters removed from the
stocking program

When survey data suggests that a waterway is no longer
suitable for adult trout stocking based on a loss of angler
access, environmental factors, or designation as a Class A wild
trout stream, the PFBC makes every attempt to reallocate fish
to a comparable location nearby. When inadequate angler
access is the reason for a removal, locations are monitored
for improvement, so these waters can be considered for
reinstatement to the stocking program if access is improved.
Asaph Run, Tioga County
Based on the presence of a mixed Class A wild Brook
Trout and wild Brown Trout population, trout stocking will
be discontinued in favor of wild trout management on the
2.9-mile section of stream extending from the confluence
of the Left Branch Asaph and Right Branch Asaph runs
downstream to the mouth. Formerly, this water was stocked
in both the preseason and inseason stocking periods. Fish
previously stocked in this stream will now be stocked in
Charleston Creek and Stony Fork, Tioga County.
Brewer Run, McKean County
An increase in landowner posting has led to the removal
of trout stocking from a 2.8-mile section of stream extending
from the bridge on Right-of-Way Road downstream to the
mouth. Formerly, this water was stocked on a preseason
only basis. Fish previously stocked in this stream will now be
stocked in Kinzua Creek, McKean County.
Freeman Run, Potter Run
Based on the presence of a Class A wild Brown Trout
population, trout stocking will be discontinued in favor of
wild trout management on the 7.4-mile section of stream
extending from the confluence of Bark Shanty Hollow
downstream to the mouth. Formerly, this water was stocked
in both the preseason and inseason stocking periods. Fish
previously stocked in this stream will now be stocked in First
Fork Sinnemahoning Creek and West Creek, Cameron, Elk,
and Potter counties.
Mountain Branch, Centre County
A decrease in stream access due to deteriorating road
conditions has led to the removal of trout stocking from a
2.0-mile section of stream extending from Trim Root Run
downstream to the unnamed tributary 0.2 mile upstream of
the mouth. Formerly, this water was stocked on a preseason
only basis. Fish previously stocked in this stream will now be
stocked in Cold Stream Dam, Centre County.
Straight Creek, Elk County
A decrease in stream access has led to the removal of trout
stocking from a 2.8-mile section of stream extending from
the first bridge upstream from Naval Hollow downstream to
the mouth. Formerly, this water was stocked on an inseason
only basis. Fish previously stocked in this stream will now be
stocked in Hoffman Run, Elk County.
