PAs population has almost doubled since the early 1900s, and the amount of people who fish who target wild trout has also increased. What has not increased is the amount of fishable water in the state. As PA continues to urbanize, more and more streams are becoming posted, privatized, or club water.
Is there any organizations out there that specialize in acquiring land along wild trout streams in PA for the public? I know the Eastern Brook Trout Venture is one, but their main focus is Brook Trout streams (which is great). And sometimes our states Conservancys will acquire them, but it’s not their primary goal. Is there any other orgs/foundations worth looking into that are trying to safeguard public access to wild trout waters?
