<strong>Fish</strong> must be caught in <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> public<br />
waters by legal methods during seasons open for<br />
the taking of the species involved.<br />
<strong>Fish</strong> must be measured, weighed <strong>and</strong> recorded<br />
by fishing license issuing agent or tackle store<br />
within the state by the owner, manager, or an<br />
authorized agent of the respective establishment.<br />
Photographs are desirable as further proof of<br />
catch but are not required.<br />
Non-residents as well as residents are eligible for<br />
citations if fish are caught under the above conditions.<br />
Only fishing citation applications received within<br />
90 days from date of catch will be honored.<br />
HOW TO MEASURE<br />
Actual applications for a Citation may be secured by contacting any district fish warden,<br />
regional office of the <strong>Pennsylvania</strong> <strong>Fish</strong> <strong>Commission</strong>, or by writing the Public<br />
Relations Division of the <strong>Commission</strong> in Harrisburg (Zip Code 17120). Application<br />
blanks are also carried from time to time in the Angler.
