Always fighting the good fight and keeping all of us informed about important ways to help. the Teddy Roosevelt Conversation Partnership (TRCP) is working to improve fishing opportunities in Pennsylvania. Currently there are 24 Pennsylvania Trout Streams that are deemed to represent the best of the waters in the state, and arguably the East. Take action today to ensure the places to fish in Pennsylvania are improved and protected.

Among those eligible for protection during this comment period include Still Creek in Schuylkill County, Clear Run in Adams County, and tributaries to Nesquehoning Creek in Carbon County. These outstanding waters positively affect surrounding communities through increased economic activity and improve the natural, scenic, and aesthetic values of the state.

With 86,000 miles of streams and about 4,000 inland lakes, Pennsylvania is home to some of the best publicly accessible fishing that the East Coast has to offer, including phenomenal trout and bass fishing. With opportunities like these, it’s no wonder that 1.2 million Pennsylvanians fished their local waterways in 2020, helping contribute to the state’s $58-billion outdoor recreation economy.
