Despite objections from former state fisheries officials and two board members, the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is moving ahead with a plan to stock a Class A stream in Potter County while monitoring the impacts on wild trout.
At its quarterly meeting in July, the agency’s board of commissioners approved by a 7-2 vote, a notice of proposed rulemaking for stocking a three-mile stretch of Freeman Run and studying the effect on the reproducing fishery for five years.
