Description:

Abstract:

This layer contains flowing water Sections from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Fisheries Resource Database. Water Sections are defined when a water has had some type of sampling conducted and data is being entered into the PFBCMainResource database and ResourceFirstPortal. This layer is directly linked to tables of stocking events for trout, as well as planned and past stockings for warmwater/coolwater species. 

Purpose:

Mapping and analysis of flowing waters that are being managed in Pennsylvania. Promotion of fishing opportunities in Pennsylvania.
