1 Notice Proposed Changes to List of Class A Wild Waters April 07 The Fish and Boat Commission (Commission) is considering changes to its list of Class A Wild Streams. Under 58 Pa. Code 57.8a (relating to Class A wild trout streams), it is the Commission s policy to manage self-sustaining Class A wild trout populations as a renewable natural resource to conserve that resource and the angling it provides. Class A wild trout populations represent the best of Pennsylvania s naturally reproducing trout fisheries. With rare exceptions, the Commission manages these stream sections solely for the perpetuation of the wild trout fishery with no stocking. Criteria developed for Class A Wild fisheries are species specific. Wild Biomass Class Criteria include provisions for: (i) Wild Fisheries Total brook trout biomass of at least 30 kg/ha (6.7 lbs/acre). Total biomass of brook trout less than 5 cm (5.9 inches) in total length of at least 0. kg/ha (0.089 lbs/acre). (C) trout biomass must comprise at least 75% of the total trout biomass. (ii) Wild Fisheries Total brown trout biomass of at least 40 kg/ha (35.6 lbs/acre). Total biomass of brown trout less than 5 cm (5.9 inches) in total length of at least 0. kg/ha (0.089 lbs/acre).
