While fish species are distributed and available throughout the Commonwealth, some waters are superior to others with respect to their ability to provide a better fishing experience. In the past, when anglers had more free time to investigate individual waters, they discovered through trial and error those waters that provided better fishing. “Pennsylvania’s Best Fishing Waters” is a program established by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) to serve as a valued resource to address these anglers’ needs and to increase the accessibility of proven waters with the result of a more successful fishing trip

National Hydrography Dataset NHDFlowline layer with spatial representation of existing water uses defined in Title 25 Environmental Protection, Department of Environmental Protection, Chapter 93, Water Quality Standards. The Pennsylvania Code just cited provides a definition for distinguishing between designated and existing use classification. This GIS layer displays these uses spatially on an interactive stream map. Public users can drill down to locations on the map to view and map the existing uses of the water bodies of interest. The layer can also be used in conjunction with other spatially referenced data for spatial analyses.

Bald Eagles are no longer protected under the federal Endangered Species Act. Therefore, section 7 consultation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is no longer necessary. However, Bald Eagles remain protected under the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act. To help landowners, land managers, and others meet the intent of the Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Service prepared National Bald Eagle Management Guidelines. This map depicts intact Bald Eagle nests in Pennsylvania with a 330', 660' and 1000' buffer zone established around each site. These locations were identified by historic data, aerial surveys, and field observations during the 2015 to 2021 nesting seasons. New nest sites may have been established since the latest surveys were completed, so additional surveys are recommended for potential development projects. You must 'zoom in' to the nest locations for the actual nest site buffer zones to appear.
