FORBES TRAIL CHAPTER TROUT UNLIMITED
Westmoreland County Pennsylvania
Westmoreland County Pennsylvania
In 2020, the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) discontinued stocking Potter County’s Freeman Run. Since then, the wild trout population in the stream has increased nearly two-fold.
Despite this success, the PFBC is proposing a test stocking of rainbow trout in Freeman Run and is considering a change to their stocking criteria making it easier to create exceptions to the “no stocking rule” for Class A trout streams in PA.
The Pennsylvania Council of Trout Unlimited stands opposed to these proposals which the Commission will take up at their meeting on July 28, 2025.
