Since December
1994, the following has taken place:
 |
In a unanimous decision by the five (5) members of Forest
Hills Trout Co-Op, the Traditional Anglers of Pennsylvania was accepted into that
organization. |
|
Two speakers were present for the March meeting and spoke to
the members and held a question and answer session afterwards. The speakers were
Rick Lorson, biologist for the southwest division of the PA Fish and Boat Commission, and
Christ McDevitt, the new Waterways Conservation Officer for Cambria County. They
spoke on a variety of issues including PA"s trout rearing and stocking program; the
condition of area streams; license fees; the Kane Run project; and, most importantly, the
Delayed Harvest and other Special Regulation Areas. |

T.A.P. President Pfeilstucker did a radio interview with
Outdoor Writer Karl Powers in April. Did anyone hear this on the radio? |
|
The first annual, and the first fishing derby ever in
Portage Borough was sponsored by T.A.P. and held on May 20, 1995, at Kane Run.
Approximately 180 kids fished at the free derby and prizes were awarded to different age
groups. Over 600 trout up to 18-20 inches were stocked. Weather was perfect
and the kids had a great time. Deputy WCO Nardechia's co-operation was very much
appreciated.
