Caught my 1st pa palomino. Sorry I was not impressed . fought & came in like a wet paper bag. After I netted it. I see why. Its tail fin is almost gone . But the bow gave a GREAT fight. Jumped out the water 3X

Damned yellow abominations.

They stock those here in Maryland too- is it to make them more visible to birds and fishermen?

[joe_panella]

Those frankenfish should not be put in trout streams.

Imo its just a novelty fish they stock. I feel sorry for them as fisherman see them & target them regularly. a few fly guys try to lift them. & spin guys try to snag them

Nice way to get it done!

The goldens are fun by catch

Used to love fishing there back when I had a PA license! At one point I was able to maintain a NJ, NY and PA resident license until they all caught on

I used to have all 3 myself. But now I just keep a NJ & PA non resident. I keep the NJ because it cheap. & the PA 1 I can use up in the upper west branch delaware where the river us shared on with side of NY & PA. They sure do bang you on the fee of being a non resident

Still and all the non-resident license is a bargain at $62. You drop 2x that on going on a dinner date.

Damn right-any fishing license in the states, resident or non, is a bargain compared to other uses of money these days. It feels like inflation hasn't really affected fishing licenses. How much does a beer or glass of wine cost and a mediocre restaurant cost these days? what about 2-3 drinks with an average dinner? How much are two movie tickets with popcorn and drinks? How much does it cost to fill up your car? What about a lift ticket to go skiing in the Poconos, much less VT or Colorado? I live in the DC area and the in district DC license is $10 with non resident being $13! Sure there is no stocking program with minimal enforcement, but there are s-ton of fish here, making it an amazing bass, catfish, carp, shad, perch, snakehead fishery. NJ and PA licences cost a bit more, but you have a lot of stocked and naturally reproducing fish with public access. Point being, don't be cheap on licenses if its something you love!

Agree. I just pay for the full year access instead of those 1 day or 7 day passes. Its cheaper in the long run. I mite fish the free days in NY in other streams. But very doubtful I will purchase a NY license again. I'll purchase a PA for the waters I fish in NY
