Caught a few on olives today. Fish commission guys have been here recently. They are considering opening up the Trophy section to bait fishing, although the rest of the creek outside the Trophy section is now open. Please call and write them to let them know this is a huge mistake. The Trophy section holds some beautiful wild fish, though fewer than in the past; bait fishing will increase mortality and provide the final blow to a once great section of the stream.
 
Guys, I know this is more of a plea than a pure fishing report, but I'm hoping it will be OK. This seems like an urgent message, and perhaps more folks will see it here. Also,

Here is a web address for comments to the Fish Commission. The Saucon is in Northhampton. I've submitted a message via the site, but will be sending in hard copy letters as well.

Perhaps the most influential person to write would be

Commissioner Glade E. Squires
PA Fish and Boat Commission
1601 Elmerton Avenue
P.O. Box 67000
Harrisburg, PA 17106-7000

My letter is on its way.
 
If this topic interests you, the PA Flyfish General Forum has a lot more information, including the email address for the mayor of Bethlehem, who can kill the bait proposal.
