With my recent post about PA stream status vs. other states, and another recent post about F&S's Top 12 trout states, I've been doing more digging and ended up stumbling on some info about the Blue Ribbon fishery designation ... which is evidently a government provided designation indicating a fishery of extremely high quality.
PA has none, and only 5 other states do: MI, MO, WI, UT and MT (although I've read elsewhere than WA has some blue ribbon water).
I was very surprised to see states like WY, OR, CO, etc not on the list.
Anyone know if this designation is meaningful? Or is it just an antiquated, largely meaningless designation?
