Remember, as you begin the process of removing your moored or docked boats from the water to prepare them for storage remove any accumulated vegetation or material from the boat and trailer at the ramp before you leave. A few moments of care can mean the difference in keeping our waterways safe from invasives.
Also, remember to remove your fire extinguisher and store it in a temperature-controlled location to avoid damage from changing temperatures over the winter. Also, ensure you clean and thoroughly dry your PFD’s and store them in a dry area save from exposure to sunlight.
While you’re putting away your boat this is a great time to bring your trout rods back out. Many area waterways around the area are set to receive their Fall Stockings the first week of October. Officers are happy to see you come out to assist and this gives you a ringside view of the trout we are releasing and the areas you may find them.
Southeastern Region
Check the online trout stocking schedule for opportunities to catch them this fall. Trout stocking will start up again in the region next month.
Many creeks and the rivers are still running high and off-color with the rains that just keep moving through the area. Try pitching dark lures or lure with flash. Smelly baits can yield catfish even in the off-color waters.

Catfish are hitting on the usual baits of chicken livers, night crawlers and shrimp in the Schuylkill River near Landingville.
