There is a picture on the front page of the Altoona Mirror this morning. It shows a guy and his kid unhooking a trout caught from Lake Rowena in Ebensburg. Unless I'm mistaken, isn't fishing still prohibited there till Saturday? I mean, there's gotta be signs all over the place...

Some of those lakes wer changed to year round fishing now. Maybe that is one of them. I don't fish lakes for trout so I really don't pay attention which ones, but I know they were changed earlier this year.
I drove by there last sunday morning, and there were tons of people fishing. I was wondering the same thing as you. Oh well, fish wardens would probably be to lazy to get out and check anyways if they weren't allowed to be fishing.

I would think again on that one...

Pretty class-less thing to say. Sounds like somebody got caught doing something he shouldn't have been doing....

never got caught doing anything wrong, because i dont do things wrong. I have just seen many of them drive by areas where they should have got out and checked and didnt. alot of people think the same, just dont say it!!
This is open year round until 6:00 am on the first day and closes for 2 hours until 8 if I am not mistaken. Does not make sense to me but it is what it is.
Didn't know that. Thanks.
Here is the list of "Approved Trout Waters Open to Year Around Fishing."

I can tell you're not from Mercer Co. Our "fish warden" is top notch. I've run into him just about everywhere I fish.

WHY do guys like you NEVER TELL the Waterways Conservation Officers of these Areas?


Try TELLING them About those areas! Maybe then they will Not Drive by them!

Now why would you do that? Don't they get paid to just know all that stuff? Those lazy deadbeats. Probably sitting in their trucks eating doughnuts anyways...
