Soap Box, Fishing Creek "The Narrows"
Just had a story relayed about Fishing Creek (Clinton County), as we all know or I hope you know, the Narrow's Section is closed to Sunday fishing but have you read the additional note on the posters. Closed to Sunday fising or if cabin is occupied, the PA Fish Commission was called and asked for an explanation on this point and confirmed that they agreeed with this request! By the Fish Commission agreeing with this they are in fact rendering sections of this stream closed off to you and I thereby making it private water, if a cabin would rent out for a long term rental it would in fact become private water, interesting isn't it. I ask you how in the heck can you know that the cabins are occupied until you either walk up or down to them and see in fact there is someone there. I'm having a hard time with the total lack of coperation the Fish Commission has given us about the lack of fish below the Tylersville Hatchery and the water conditions comming from the hatchery. The pool below the hatchery has always been called the "Sippin Pool" and it did contain about 150-200 trout at all times of the year, not any more you'll be lucky to find more than 20 and the water condition has become so terrable no one ever wants to wade across and step into the black line on the bottom, how can they continue to operate this way. The Federal Hatchery in Lamar does not have the same foul discharge or the rocks and bottom covered with the slime that the State Hatchery has. I wonder how well the Commission would take to someone else posting their land and in effect converting a stream to private water, don't give Donnie Beaver any ideas but it looks as if the PFBC signs on to it. We are loosing the battle every day. Any comments?
