Unassessed Waters Initiative for Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) in Pennsylvania.

Matthew McLaughlin

The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission has taken an interest in documenting reproducing populations of Brook Trout. To discern which streams were inhabited by reproducing populations of Brook Trout, the PFBC compiled a list of unassessed streams to be surveyed. Out of the many unassessed trout streams, we sampled 80 streams during the summer of 2023. If streams showed reproducing populations, the PFBC would take the necessary steps to manage these populations.
