PFBC 2006 Press Release - Trout Movement Study:
Trout swim. That’s obvious – but just how far trout swim and when they may move from stocking points is the focus of a study this spring by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC). Starting this week though April 14 – the day before the start of the 2006 Pennsylvania trout season – Commission biologists across the state will monitor stocked stream sections across the Commonwealth. Biologists will electrofish as many as 140 different stream sections at least 10 days after each is stocked. Electrofishing is a common fisheries survey process which passes a mild electric current through water, drawing in fish so that they can be evaluated.

Rigging a minnow for bobber fishing only requires three simple components; a hook, weight, and the bobber. Simple, yes…effective, certainly.
