I am in favor of adopting the Trout Management Plan for 2016-17 as written.

Lots of years money in the LWCF ended up being spent on other things then the outdoors. If the PFBC is underfunded or in need of funds to do things like survey streams which would require hiring more people and putting people to work while conserving the environment, then how is that justifiable at all? Can the PFBC not apply for funding from the LWCF?

Salmonid: See the 2014 PFBC annual report. Scroll down to page 10. Check out the funds for dam removals in York and Lancaster Co and check out the separate funds for habitat work on wild trout streams there. This is a grand opportunity.

I agree with the draft as suggested, but would make two comments due to the long dry summers that we consistently face - 1) greater stocking in ponds and lakes that would holdover trout in the summer, should occur.
2) greater emphasis should also be placed on early fall stockings in DHALO, C&R & FFO sections than ATW sections, as for the last three years demand on such sections many streams has outweighed the spring demand, judging by the number of gear and fly anglers seen out and about by myself. I certainly fish more in the fall than spring due to cooler air and water temperatures and higher water flows.

Raise the fees- for access and wild trout!

September lake water temps are largely too warm to stock plus many lakes are still stratified for most of the month. As for December stockings in lakes, they are primarily aimed at the ice fisheries that are soon to follow.
