Confusing Law on
Farm Pond Fish
Needs Changing
HARRISBURG Soil conser
vation district directors at their
conference here were told by Wil
liam Voigt, Jr-, executive director
of the Pennsylvania /Fish Com
mission, that he favored early
amendment of the present “con
fusing" law relating to fishing
in farm ponds
Owners of farm ponds should
be able to say who shall fish in
their ponds “without the present

relatives and friends to fish in
his pond unless he gets a permit
from the Fish Commission, he

Voigt also won approval of the
farmer soil conservation direc

of more farm ponds and small
dams, also his stand for a state
water control law in Pennsyl

especially from streams.

the necessity for regulation in
the use of water' from streams so
that users downstream would not
suffer.
