Summary

The Executive Director of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (Commission), acting under the authority of 58 Pa. Code § 65.25 (relating to temporary changes to fishing regulations), has taken immediate action to temporarily modify fishing regulations at Lackawanna Lake, Lackawanna County, in anticipation of a drawdown of the lake. The Executive Director has lifted all seasons, sizes and creel limits for all species. The Executive Director has found that this action is necessary and appropriate for management of fish at this lake. The Executive Director will cause these temporary modifications to fishing regulations to be posted in the vicinity of the lake and the modified regulations will be fully effective and enforceable when so posted. These temporary modifications will remain in effect until March 1, 2027, unless the Commission shall by then, by appropriate action, have approved the designation or redesignation of waters or shall have approved the revision of the regulation in question. TIMOTHY D. SCHAEFFER, Executive Director
