We have our tipping point with this mess! Time for the state to wake up and really look at this nightmare. Lottery /voucher system to keep out of state people out of our PA streams. Overcharge them a price off the charts so that they either pay or stay away. 
Local landowners keep posting the property!

I fish all over the place and was raised in PA. I live in WV now and still come back home to fish! I’m out of state now and can pay whatever price PA sends my way!!!! If everyone would practice catch and release instead of keeping everything you catch… the waters would flourish.Only then you’ll have fishing conditions like you guys had 10-15 years ago. It’s sounds more like you’re jealous of out of staters showing you up! My family and I dump all kinds of money in your state every year. So go ahead and post your lands and try to keep guys like me out! I’ll just keep buying property and hopefully returning it back to its equilibrium. That way we can keep guys one sided like you out of OUR PROPERTY. Then you can pay me to fish my pristine PA waters.

honest question, Rock.
do you own creek side property?
or do you fish on another man's property?
 
thanks

That’s fine to charge more for out of people. Be careful what you wish for because a lot of people I know sink a ton of money in your state! We respect fishing and the people around us because it needs to be the way it was 10-20 years ago. If people would practice catch and release then everyone would have fun. It’s not fun driving up 3-4 hours and seeing trash all over the place or beer cans that some looser drunk through all over the place. I grew up in PA and not everybody but most on the stream have some sense of entitlement to them. In other words, just because you reside in the state doesn’t mean you own it. So by any means necessary, raise the prices I could care less about any amount. It’s called a career many all day fisherman should try it or not wait for more government handouts!

90’s were pretty good times, before Al Gore invented fishing forums. This one pretty much ruined the tribs, hope this helpa.
