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.

The data set was created using the PennDOT Counties GIS layer & TeleAtlas North America Roads GIS layers as Region boundaries follow these features. Polygons from the Counties layer were merged to create the Regions and then modified using the roads layers where appropriate. Roads were incorporated by using the Trace Sketch Tool in ArcMap.

Historical listing (1975-1995) of Pennsylvania fish species occurrences, as documented at 10,780 sampling points on streams and rivers throughout the state. Accessory information, such as type of sampling gear used and scientific names, are included. Threatened and endangered species, however, have been removed from the database for protection purposes. (If you require information concerning the distribution of Threatened and Endangered species in Pennsylvania, contact Andy Shiels at the PA Fish and Boat Commission.)

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission is an independent administrative commission. It consists of ten competent citizens of the Commonwealth who are appointed by the Governor by and with the advice and consent of a majority of the Pennsylvania Senate. Commissioners serve for terms of eight years and continue in office until their successors are appointed.
Two members of the Commission serve at large and are experienced in boating and water safety education and owners of Pennsylvania registered boats. The remaining eight members each represent a specific geographic district. They are persons well informed on the subjects of conservation, restoration, fish and fishing and boats and boating. Commissioners are appointed on a bipartisan basis. This GIS layer is a compilation of those 8 geographic districts.

Many streams, lakes, ponds, and reservoirs are officially classified as "approved trout waters." This means that these waters contain significant portions that are open to public fishing and are stocked with trout. The waters in this layer are lakes (not flowing waters) classified as "approved trout waters" and these are open to trout harvest during the "extended season" (see Commonwealth Inland Waters). Unlisted tributary streams (those not included in this list of "approved trout waters") are not open to harvest of trout during the "extended season." Only approved trout waters and all waters downstream of approved trout waters are open during this period. Spearing fish is not permitted in any of these waters at any time of the year.
These waters are closed to all fishing (including taking of minnows) from March 1 to 8 a.m. on the opening day of the trout season. Some of these waters have been included in the Early Season Trout-Stocked Waters Program and are open from March 1 through March 31. A person shall be deemed to be fishing if he or she has in possession any fishing line, rod, or other device that can be used for fishing while on or in any water or on the banks within 25 feet of any water where fishing is prohibited.
Check with the nearest Fish & Boat Commission office if there is any question about whether or not a water area is "approved."
This layer is current through the new fishing regulations released December of 2009 for the 2010 fishing season.

This layer contains flowing waters from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Fisheries Resource Database that support naturally reproducing populations of trout. A wild trout stream section is a biological designation that does not determine how it is managed, therefore, these streams may also be stocked with hatchery trout by the Commission.

This layer contains flowing waters in Pennsylvania that support naturally reproducing populations of trout WITH Tributaries that are NOT Commission Approved Wild Trout Waters. Attibute column named Wildtrouts will show if a polyline represents a Commission Approved Wild Trout with an entry of Listed or will have Tributary indicating water is a tributary to a wild trout water. A wild trout stream section is a biological designation that does not determine how it is managed, therefore, these streams may also be stocked with hatchery trout by the Commission. This GIS layer matches the list available on the PFBC web site (excluding Tributaries) at https://www.fishandboat.com/Fish/PennsylvaniaFishes/Trout/Documents/trout_repro.pdf.

This layer contains flowing waters from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Fisheries Resource Database that are under the Wilderness Trout Designation. Wilderness trout stream management is based upon the provision of a wild trout fishing experience in a remote, natural and unspoiled environment where man's disruptive activities are minimized. Established in 1969, this option was designed to protect and promote native (brook trout) fisheries, the ecological requirements necessary for natural reproduction of trout and wilderness aesthetics. The superior quality of these watersheds is considered an important part of the overall angling experience on wilderness trout streams. Therefore, all stream sections included in this program qualify for the Exceptional Value (EV) special protected water use classification, which represents the highest protection status provided by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).
