Low water affects fishing Low water levels have made it difficult or impossible to use some waterways and boating access points across the Commonwealth. The PA Fish and Boat Commis- sion is urging boat operators to be vigilant and keep a proper look- out. The low water conditions have increased the need for op- erators to be aware of their loca- tion and water depth to avoid accident or injury. Low flows have created obstruction and hazards to boat navigation that under nor- mal conditions are not noticeable to many boat operators. Fish and Boat Commissin bi- ologists report that while the ‘drought may have an impact on local fisheries, a long-term impact on fish populations or fishing is unlikely. Drought conditions are one of many natural ecological processes. While local popula- tions of fish, primarily trout, may be impacted in the short term, populations quickly bounce back from severe droughts. If elevated water temperatures and reduced flow come on gradually, wild trout and their hatchery cousins have opportunity to seek out “thermal refuge”-cold water areas in streams. Unfortunately, the heat wave a few weeks ago came on so suddenly fish may not have had an opportunity to move and be- come trapped. Trout from nine Commission hatcheries are stocked in many - miles of seasonal trout water to provide opportunity for recreation. In previous years, drought condi- tions have made the job of trout rearing very difficult by reducing the amount and quality of water running through the hatcheries. The Commission anticipates that this year will undoubtedly be dif- ficult for the hatchery system. Currently, half of the hatcheries are experiencing reduced flows similar to last year, except that they are occurring six weeks ear- «* lier. On a more positive note, the drought situation has actually helped some Commonwealth fish species like the smallmouth bass. The reduced flows, stable water levels and warmer water tempera- tures have actually led to higher levels of natural reproduction and generally an easier time for young- of-the-year bass. The 1999 small- mouth bass year class is very strong and the fish are growing ahead of schedule, which should provide for enjoyable hase an~ling Sports U-12 boys win Whitewater Cup The Back Mountain Vipers U-12 boys Soccer team, recently won the Whitewater Cup Classic.
