Handline fishing still in practice today for minimalist anglers

Featured, Features, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, Pennsylvania /

Adam Nelson likes to say that he was “born in the national parks.”
His father served as a park ranger, outside national parks in California and Wyoming and a national recreation area in Pennsylvania.
Nelson boasts an extensive “outdoor adventure resume” that includes climbing, spelunking, van life, bushcraft, foraging, biking and boating. However, there was a piece of Nelson’s extensive outdoor repertoire that was missing. He wanted to start fishing in a minimalist way, and to scratch that itch, he developed a keen interest in handline fishing.

Sadly, the 115-mile-long river would eventually become known as “the most polluted waterway in Pennsylvania.” The depletion of natural resources nationwide fueled rapid economic growth at the turn of the century. The Clarion River Valley was not immune to the resulting devastation.

Protected in parts of Pennsylvania, brown trout have a bounty on them in stretch of Colorado River

Featured, Fishing, Home Page News, National Fishing, National News, Nature Page & Night Sky, News, Pennsylvania /

The Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission last November adopted a change to trout-harvesting regulations on 12 streams located in eastern and central parts of the state.
The law, known as a “miscellaneous special regulation,” protects wild brown trout in some Class A wild trout stream sections.
Ironically, across the country, on a stretch of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon National Park, the Arizona Game and Fish Department, working with the National Park Service, has placed a bounty on brown trout with the Brown Trout Incentivized Harvest program.
