Practice Safe Boating!

The PA Wilds is a great place to fish from a boat, but it is essential to practice safeboating. All boat operators are required to have an approved life jacket on board for eachperson. All children 12 years of age and younger are required to wear a properly sized lifejacket when underway on Commonwealth waters on any boat 20 feet or less in length and allcanoes and kayaks. All water skiers or anyone being towed behind a boat, personalwatercraft operators and passengers, and sailboarders (windsurfers) must also wear a lifejacket. The PA Fish and Boat Commission recommends that every occupant on board aboat wear a USCG approved Type I,II,III, or V wearable life jacket. For more informationon safe boating, registration, titling and other boating regulations, refer to the BoatingHandbook available online at www.fishandboat.com.

Cast yourself into every angler’s dream. Let the lakes andstreams of the Pennsylvania Wilds lure you away from yourcares. Throughout an area boasting two million acres offorested public lands and covering 12 counties, there areseemingly endless streams, rivers and lakes that beckon youto drop your line and catch that elusive native trout,largemouth bass, walleye, or frisky pan fish.

Imagine dropping a line into a mountain stream surroundedby miles of undisturbed wilderness yet close enough toservices that make your fishing getaway effortless. That’s theexperience you’ll find in the Pennsylvania Wilds.

So, pack your rod, grabyour creel, put up the“Gone Fishin’ ” sign andventure to thePennsylvania Wilds.

What do I need to know before I go?

You should have a basic knowledge of Pennsylvania’sfishing regulations. The best resource for this is thePennsylvania Summary of Fishing Regulations and Laws,or Summary Book as it is known. As its name implies, thesummary book contains an overview of fishingregulations. It also provides many fishing tips and othervaluable information.

If you need to know more about how to fish, try ourFishing Fundamentals page, which provides informationabout fish, how to fish and where to go fishing..

And don’t forget, a Pennsylvania fishing license is required to fish in PA. Wehave a separate FAQ specific to fishing licenses. More information about costs andtypes of licenses, trout/salmon stamps, and fishing regulations and laws isavailable.

Fish-For-Free Days

Fish-for-Free Days allow anyone (resident or non-resident) to legally fish withNO FISHING LICENSE REQUIRED to fish on all Pennsylvania’s waterwayson the designated days. All other fishing regulations still apply. Two dates aretypically chosen on Memorial Day and Labor Day.

Fish-for-Free Days are great ways for familiesto “catch” the fun of fishing!
