Trout Season Begins! Earth Day

Fish

On!

Gather your friends, family and fishing poles and head for the Pocono waterways! The 2013 Pennsylvania Trout Fishing Season officially begins at 8 a.m. on Saturday, April 13! The Pocono Mountains Region of Pennsylvania is known for excellent coldwater trout fishing. Healthy populations of rainbow, brook and brown trout flourish in local waters, and abundant public fishing holes are easily accessed by car or scenic hike. Through Labor Day weekend, anglers can catch and keep up to five fish per creel from Pennsylvania’s inland waters; trout must measure at least seven inches in length to be kept. In the Commonwealth, anglers age 16 and older are required to possess a fishing license and trout stamp. One, three, and seven-day fishing licenses are available for Pennsylvania visitors. Fishing licenses, bait and equipment can be found at many locallyowned shops across the Poconos. Woehrle’s Bait Shop in Mount Pocono offers an outstanding selection of live fishing bait; Hunter’s Gallery features rods, reels, creels and lures; Tannery Depot showcases great bait and tackle, and Blakeslee Sport Shop sells locally-tied flies, fishing licenses, live bait and topographical maps. See the SPORTS section on page 21 of this issue for more information on sports outfitters in the Poconos, and be sure to buy your license! Trout fishing rules and regulations are available through the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission at www.fish.state.pa.us.

Behold Boulder Field! Boulder Field, located in Hickory Run State Park, is a National Natural Landmark and a true scenic wonder. The vast “field” of stone is a fossil and a relict, its contents left behind after the last ice advance. Hickory Run’s Boulder Field is a potpourri of loosely-packed boulders which range in size from a few inches to 25’ in length. flat fi eld measures 400’ wide wide, 1 1,800’ th The surprisingly flat field 800’ long and about 10’ deep. The boulders are predominantly red sandstone, and trend from angular shapes in the east side of the field to more rounded shapes in the west. About 15,000 years ago, such rocky terrain was common throughout the Northeast, but gradual weathering and climate change have led to the coverage or elimination of many boulder fields. Only in special places, such as Hickory Run State Park, do these astounding formations remain. Hickory Run State Park is located in Carbon County at the foothills of the Pocono Mountains. Boulder Field is easily accessible via Boulder Field Road or the scenic Boulder Field hiking trail. To learn more about this unique natural wonder, call the Hickory Run State Park Office at (570) 443-0400 or check out www.visitpaparks.com.
