GAME COMMISSION’S STRATEGIC PLAN AVAILABLE FOR REVIEW
The 2015-2020 Pennsylvania Game Commission Strategic Plan is available for public review.
The Strategic Plan outlines a five-year roadmap of the agency’s goals and strategies for management of the 480 species of wild birds and mammals in the state. This plan has not yet received final approval.
The draft strategic plan can be found on the Game Commission’s website, www.pgc.state.pa.us. Those wishing to read the plan can click the Strategic Plan icon on the home page to view it.
The Pennsylvania Game Commission’s mission is to manage Pennsylvania’s wild birds and their habitats for current and future generations, said R. Matthew Hough, the agency’s executive director.
“Although our focus has remained basically the same since the agency was created, the challenges and opportunities facing the agency are fluid and dynamic,” Hough said.
The Strategic Plan identifies specific measureable goals to help guide the agency toward its core goals. The core goals for the 2015-2020 Strategic Plan include putting wildlife first, improving wildlife habitat, following sound business practices, serving Pennsylvanians and improving support for hunting and trapping.
“This plan focuses on identifying challenges that must be addressed to move the agency toward continued improvement and effectiveness,” Hough said. “Making this plan available to the public increases agency transparency and accountability.”
Those wishing to submit comments on the plan can do so in two ways. Comments can be sent electronically through e-mail to PGCStrategicPlanComments@pa.gov. Comments can also be sent through the mail to the Pennsylvania Game Commission. Reviews of the plan can be mailed using the following address: Strategic Plan Comments, Pennsylvania Game Commission, Bureau of Information and Education, 2001 Elmerton Avenue, Harrisburg, PA 17110-9797. The public comment period ends June 17.

I've never been so proud of a small town as I have of this one. Thursday we all waited in anticipation as cellphone messages went viral following our Boys Basketball Team playing Clarion in St. Mary's, Pa for the District 9 Baseball Title.
When they finished the game 10-0 in six-innings, messages moving faster than the speed of light spurred the Fire and Ambulance Departments into action and a town wide cheering section and parade met the kids as they passed Ram Forest Products in Ceres and made their way home. When they crossed the bridge into town and made the corner at ACORN our Fire Trucks blew their horns and 22 cars and our Ambulance escorted the team through the streets of cheering and poster waving crowds! We've never won the title and this team deserves accolades along with their coaches and parents for a season well done in small town America.

Bridge Replacement over Big Mill Creek starts June 8
Ridgway, PA – The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation announces that work will get underway Monday, June 8, to replace a bridge near Ridgway on Route 3002. The current single-span, steel girder bridge will be replaced with a new single-span concrete structure. Work will take place one side at a time.
The current bridge spans Big Mill Creek about two and a half miles west of Ridgway in Ridgway Township. The bridge was originally built in 1939 and carries an average of almost 700 vehicles daily. Replacing the bridge will allow PennDOT to remove it from Elk County’s structurally deficient list.
During the first phase of construction, drivers may encounter minor delays for daylight flagging operations. Temporary traffic signals will be in place later this summer as work moves into other construction phases. The signals will enforce an alternating traffic pattern.
Overall work will include replacement of the bridge, drainage upgrades, and guide rail replacement. Work is expected to last until the middle of December but PennDOT will open both lanes of the bridge earlier if work progress allows. Charles J. Merlo, Inc. of Mineral Point is the contractor on this $1.7 million project.
Drivers are reminded to obey posted speed limits, use caution in and around work zones, and always buckle up.

Bass Season Kicks Off June 13

Bass Season Kicks Off June 13
HARRISBURG,
Pa. (June 5) – In the minds of anglers, warmer summer weather marks the
beginning of bass season, which officially opens on June 13 across the
Commonwealth.
The
black bass is one of the most popular sportfish targeted by
Pennsylvania anglers, says Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC)
Executive Director John Arway, who expects a large turnout on the
state’s most popular lakes and streams, including PA’s Best Bass Fishing
Waters.
“Trout
and bass are the two most popular sportfish among anglers,” he said.
“And one of the reasons bass is popular is because the Commonwealth has
so many fantastic spots for anglers to catch smallmouth and largemouth
bass, from creeks and rivers to large ponds and lakes.”
Many
anglers fish for bass while visiting Pennsylvania state parks, where
families and kids can enjoy fishing along with other amenities,
including camping, hiking and biking, and canoeing and kayaking.
“State
parks are great family-friendly places to fish, particularly if you
have young kids,” said Arway. “Kids can have fun fishing and also
enjoying other outdoor activities. Our Commonwealth has over 86,000
miles of streams and rivers to fish and more than 4,000 lakes and
reservoirs.”
During bass season, anglers can keep a daily limit of six bass, which must be at least 12 inches in length.
As
a promotional lead-up to bass season, the PFBC this year is again
partnering with Pocono Raceway to host a free kids fishing pond at the
Pocono ARCA Racing Series on June 6 at Pocono Raceway, in Long Pond, Pa.
“We’re
very excited to be partnering with Pocono Raceway on this promotional
event,” added Arway. “We know that a lot of NASCAR fans also like to
fish and boat, and many of our fans enjoy NASCAR, so it’s a natural fit
for us. This is an easy way for kids to experience fishing right before
they get to enjoy the thrill of live NASCAR racing at Pocono Raceway.”
At
the race, individuals also can enter the PFBC’s “Kayak and More”
giveaway, which includes an Emotion Guster Angler kayak donated by
Cabela’s; a family four-pack of tickets to the August 2 Pennsylvania 400
NASCAR race at Pocono Raceway donated by Pocono Raceway; and a pair of
tickets to see Darius Rucker in concert at Musicfest in Bethlehem on
August 14 donated by ArtsQuest.
The public can also enter the contest by visiting www.GoneFishingPA.com. For more information about the Pocono race, visit www.ponocoraceway.com.
Arway
added that anglers who use smartphones can use the PFBC’s new
“FishBoatPA” app to better navigate the Keystone State’s streams and
lakes during bass season.
“The
use of smartphones has skyrocketed, so we have found a way to improve
the fishing and boating experience for our anglers and boaters,” he
said. “Now they can spend less time looking for information and more
time fishing and boating.”
The “FishBoatPA” app is available for free on both Google’s Play Store and Apple’s App Store.
Also
this year, adult anglers are enjoying a first-ever $1 decrease in the
price of their fishing license, a promotional campaign the PFBC is
marketing under the slogan “Catch the Value!”
“This
is our way of saying ‘thank you’ to our loyal customers,” added Arway.
“And at the same time, we think the price reduction will attract lapsed
anglers back to the sport.”
The
PFBC reminds anglers that “catch and immediate release” no harvest
regulations apply to smallmouth and largemouth bass on the lower
sections of the Susquehanna River (below Sunbury) and Juniata River
(below Port Royal) and into the rivers’ tributaries to points one-half
river-mile upstream from the confluence. For more information about the
smallmouth bass issue in the Susquehanna River, visit http://fishandboat.com/susq-impairment.htm.
The PFBC website has a host of information to help anglers plan their fishing trips. Visit www.fishandboat.com
and select from the left navigation column “Fish” and “Fishing
Fundamentals” to get started. For more information about bass, visit http://fishandboat.com/bass.htm. For a guide to fishing regulations, visit www.fishinpa.com.
