The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission will host the 2021 Virtual Fisheries Summit on its Facebook page on Saturday, February 20.
This virtual event will feature narrated presentations from fisheries biologists on diverse fishing opportunities across the state and discuss the status of various warm-water, cool-water and cold-water fisheries.
Presentations will be viewable on the PFBC Facebook page, with a schedule of individual presentations being posted throughout the day.
All individual presentations will be also published on the commission YouTube channel.
“Many Pennsylvanians don’t realize the incredible number of fishing opportunities that exist well beyond the world-class wild trout and stocked trout fisheries that are so popular,” said Kris Kuhn, director of the commission’s Bureau of Fisheries.
“Through our Virtual Fisheries Summit, we hope to shine a light on many of Pennsylvania’s thriving and diverse angling opportunities, inspire anglers to try something new, and connect them with the resources they need to have a successful experience on the water.”
To provide interactivity between PFBC experts and the public during the Virtual Fisheries Summit, questions and comments that are relevant to the presented topics are welcome on the commission’s Facebook page in the comments section of each virtual presentation.
The summit will conclude with a livestreaming panel discussion, during which comments and questions will be addressed by commission experts. All comments submitted must follow the commission’s social media policy.
