Their first attack is
directed at PA's "Delayed Harvest - Artificial Lures only"
water within the Commonwealth. This water is currently open
year round to fly fishing and spin fishing with artificial
lures; legal sized fish may be taken during the period from
June 15th to Labor Day, though most of the fishing by both
the spin fishers and fly anglers is C & R.


I don't really have any problem with the proposed regs change. Like the
discussion says, by mid June, all tackle activity should not be profound.
The delayed harvest and tackle restrictions in place until June should
really serve the same purpose they always have. I really don't see a huge
impact of this policy change, and I don't really see this as a slippery
slope problem, either. The only possible problem I see is how complex PA
regs are, but you already need a lawyer to understand the regs in place
now. This small change shouldn't make a difference.
