| SPRING TROUT STOCKING CANCELLED AT LAKE PEREZ |
| March 25, 2008 |
 |
| Spring trout stocking has been cancelled
at Lake Perez in northern Huntingdon County due to a drawdown of water levels for the purpose of structural
repairs to the dam.
As a result of safety concerns, activities in and around the lake will not be permitted
during the period of the drawdown. This includes shoreline fishing. Therefore, the preseason stocking
and the spring inseason stocking of adult trout have been cancelled for 2008.
Water levels in the 72-acre
impoundment are currently 10 feet below the normal pool and may require an additional drawdown in order
to complete the necessary repairs to the dam structure. Repair work is scheduled to occur during the
summer with the hope of restoring water levels in time to permit fall trout stocking and fishing.
The lake is owned
by the Pennsylvania State University and operated as part of the Stone Valley Recreation Area. Each
year, the Fish and Boat Commission stocks the lake with adult trout during the spring, fall, and winter periods to
provide recreational angling opportunities. In addition to stocked trout, there are opportunities for anglers to fish
for largemouth bass, chain pickerel, and yellow perch. |
