Former Pig Pen

I see the pig pen property is posted.  Who owns the property and why doesn't the fish commission buy the property?  Isn't there over a million dollars in the erie stamp fund?  Just wondering.

Erie tax maps online show it’s owned by Fairview Twp. Which also owns the parking area there.

Couldn’t tell ya why the PAFBC hasn’t tried to do something with it though. My guess would be that since the township owns it, it’s probably not as high a priority for them as easements on streams right now to ensure future public access. Maybe down the road.

But that’s just a guess.

Caught my first steelhead ever there back in 2001. Only time I ever fished in there.

I was told by a Fish Warden that this property is held by a private landowner that lives right there.  Is this not true?

Wow, no responses.  This board is obsolete.

He blurred the line of an illiterate kid or someone pretending to be one rather well. When he got into it with someone, the best entertainment around. He signed up his high school brother to fight half of the board…

I'm not sure where the pig pen is, but I remember reading on FB that somewhere up there an owner posts his property for gun season. and then when it's over people can re enter. IMO if the game commission stalked fish for licenses holders to catch then whatever water they're in should be open for use. However, the constitutionalist in me is also screaming about property rights...

I know up above Follys there was a property with a sign that said no fishing during the rifle deer season.  That was many years ago and haven't been up there.  At least he lets you fish the rest of the year.

Honestly I avoid most of the PA creeks like the plaque, you don't have this issue on the NY side.
