Attention Pa Fisherman: Special Regulations change

To anyone from Pennsylvania, partiularly the southeast portion of the state.
I was just out fishing on the Delayed Harvest ALO section of the Tulpehocken
when a gentlemen approched me and we struck up a convesation. He informed me
that he was a member of the loacl chapter of trout unlimited and that the PA
Fish & Boat commission was proposing changesing the reulations of the stream to
allow the use of bait during the period of time. Such a change would be
disasterous to the resident population of fish. Every other stream or lake
with trout in it in this area is basicly fished out during the spring trout
season, because most of the guys around here are only interested in catching as
many keepers as they can. The Tulpehocken is the one place where most of the
fishing pressure is from guys interested in catch and release. If any of you
are intersted in preserving this fishery and its current regulation, please let
the PA F&BC how you feel.

I fish the Little Lehigh and Lehigh, among others in the Lehigh Valley
(redundant?). I drive 5+ hours from Upstate NY to do so. Education is the
key. A snelled hook with worm, corn, or bread with kill a fish. Teach the
bait fisherman to pinch barbs and use methods that hook lips rather than
gills is the key.

Perhaps a mandatory fisherman safety course (like hunter saftey) would be in
order nationwide?

Lemme guess.....you really don't have a ****ing clue what the adjective
"snelled" means, do you?

Well, wherever you live would probably be a good place to start.

so, why can't johnny read?

I think snelled means to have a pre-tied thinner line tied to a hook before
tying it to the line.

It´s not, it´s a knot.

A snelled hook, is a hook attached to a piece of line using this knot.

I see that others have already addressed the problem of definition. That
leaves us with just one more burning question to be answered. What do you
suppose are the odds that an UNsnelled hook "...with worm, corn, or
bread..." will kill a fish?

Wolfgang
enquiring minds and all that.

I suppose you already know the answer.

You know, I can help you with your bullying issues. I have training with
helping aggressive at-risk students succeed and feel positive. There's no
hugging involved...

Wolfgang asks:

and, while we are at it, what are the odds that a small trout fly can easily do
likewise? I won't even delve into the issue of treble hook spinning lures, by
far the deadliest of all options, and perfectly legal on most PA delayed
harvest areas.

Ok, here I go again.......

see prior post: "A Plea for Help". Beyond that, let me say merely...bull****!

really? I fish at least 5 or 6 other Berks county streams, and on all of them,
have caught trout in February and in August.
None have restrictive regulations, you just have to know what you are doing.

he Tulpehocken is the one place where most of the
fishing pressure is from guys interested in catch and release.

won't argue that, but doesn't make the Tully a superior stream.....not that I
would name any in the county better, but several have substantial streambred
populations, despite regs and stocking.
