Drove by a class A stream I fish quite often today,and decided to stop and check the water temp just for the fun of it,and after a few steps I ran right into this.

With your limited details, it’s hard to say. A stream name would greatly add clarity. At any rate, I’ll take a guess that that the entire stream isn’t Class A and that it also has a non-Class A, stocked section and that’s where you saw the sign.
 
Ok nevermind I was doing my research tonight and it does not list that stream as class a,I’m pretty sure it used to be.Its Long Run in Tioga county.Hard to believe its not on the class a list.

There are very strong restrictions on removing a stream from the Class A list, even for streams that warrant it from a biomass perspective. Given that, it would be improbable although not impossible that it was removed.
 
Guess I was just sadly mistaken,maybe I always assumed it was class a because there are a lot of lesser streams out here that are considered class a,that sign was just kind of a heartbreaker when I ran into it today.Theres a stream with the same name that is on the class a list in the neighboring county,I could have had my counties mixed up too I guess while looking at the list of streams.This stream definitely does not lack trout.I really don’t understand why they would want to stock it to begin with,it’s an excellent brook trout stream.
