Revitalizing PA Trout Fisheries: Trout Unlimited's Impact on Appalachian Trout Fishing

Articles
Written By Trent Jones

In this article from Trout Unlimited, Brian discusses ongoing efforts to restore and rehabilitate wild trout fisheries in the Appalachian Mountains. The central topic focuses on addressing the impact of Abandoned Mine Drainage (AMD).

Trout Unlimited, in partnership with conservation districts and TU chapters, is actively involved in water sampling and planning for AMD remediation projects, particularly highlighting the potential recovery of Beech Creek.

The passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law and the reauthorization of the Abandoned Mine Land Program have provided substantial funding for addressing the effects of abandoned mines, enabling the renewal of focus on AMD projects.

The article emphasizes the importance of both new projects and the maintenance of existing treatment systems for the continued recovery of fisheries in the region.
