HARRISBURG, PA — The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) is seeking public feedback on a new Strategic Plan for Management of Trout Fisheries in Pennsylvania.​

This updated plan for 2025-2029 was developed based on input from PFBC Commissioners and staff from the bureaus of Fisheries; Hatcheries; Outreach, Education, and Marketing; Law Enforcement; and Administration.

The goal of this strategic plan is to ensure that adequate protection is afforded to Pennsylvania's wild trout resources, and that fisheries provided through the management of wild trout and stocking of adult and fingerling trout produce high quality angling opportunities across the Commonwealth.

The plan is available for review on the PFBC's website (visit https://www.fishandboat.com/Conservation/Plans/Management-Plans/Pages/Species-Management-Plans.aspx) and the public is encouraged to provide feedback from Friday, October 4 through Saturday, November 2. Feedback on the plan may be submitted by email to RA-pfbcregulations@pa.gov with 'Trout Plan' indicated in the subject line.​

The plan will be finalized during December 2024 following consideration of public feedback.
