you have a valid point...thats interesting...i never really thought of it..but im pretty sure in PA that regulations are regulations. in PA i could see trout or something that the fish commission doesnt stock and arent native fish...

but fish like bass for example are found nearly everywhere...most arent stocked..from farm ponds and strip mine ponds to lakes and streams and rivers...

id definently check with the state...i wouldnt wanna be caught over my limit with illegally sized fish in my possession and maybe out of season to find out the law came and i was busted...seems like a foolish way to go down.

now that im thinking about it though, sportsmans clubs that stock trout usually set their limits higher than the state limits...hmmmmm
