| These special regulations apply to largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass in the waters listed below. Approved trout lakes that are in the Big Bass Program are closed to all fishing from March 1 until the opening day of the trout season, unless listed in the Early Season Trout-Stocked Waters Program (indicated below by an asterisk). Those lakes designated below with an asterisk are closed to fishing from April 1 until 8 a.m. on opening day of trout season. For all other species, inland regulations apply.
NOTE: For purposes of this section, power dam pools and recreational dam pools on the Susquehanna River and navigational dam pools in the Ohio River drainage are “rivers.” Anglers that harvest bass on a tributary to the waters managed under the Big Bass Program who later enter the special regulation area with fish in possession must abide by the special regulation area season, sizes and creel limits. |
