4VAC15-330-150. Special provision applicable to trout fishing using artificial lures with single hook.
Summary
The recommendation is to remove Smith Creek in Alleghany County from this provision and add Grassy Creek and its tributaries within the boundaries of Breaks Interstate Park.
Proposed Language
Note: In the “Proposed Language” document, underlined text denotes proposed new language, while text with a strikethrough denotes language that is proposed to be deleted.
Rationale
The first change is to reflect the discontinuation of stocking and the lack of the establishment of a fishery in Smith Creek – there is no longer a reason to require special regulations. The second change is to reflect an effort to develop a quality trout fishery in Breaks Interstate Park in conjunction with Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife.
