Harry, my suspicion is that the PA Fish & Boat Commission is worried bigger seines would be used to harvest all those non-native trout that get dumped in the streams! LOL

I am looking at this and wondering something ?????????

What constitutes a Collection or Non-Commercial seine in Pa? No joke. Find out for me, (please) just exactly what the word-of -the-law states , consitutes a seine.
Be sure you get the specific wording , sub sections, definitions and amendments to.

I have an idea........it worked in one of the most anti-net states in the USA and it might work for you all too.


Stay tuned for the rest of the story...............just GET ME THAT INFO AND BE SURE IT IS SPECIFIC....NO LOOSE ENDS OR ASSUMPTIONS.

I am a 3rd generation seine net maker, and I was curious at other states laws to see if I could break into the market. its surprising that so many other states don't come close to GA's. 100' maximum with a 5/8" minimum mesh size, unless you are using a fish seine which can be up to 300' in length. As far as depth, I typically use 10' deep

The legal methods for taking the bait species listed above are as follows:
