Landing nets deemed legal for trout fishing under 19th century PA law
Judge Allen Craig in Monroe County reverses the conviction in the Wetherill Elliott case interpreting the May 22 1869 act to exclude landing nets from the prohibited catching devices. The court holds rod hook and line covers tools plus landing nets for bringing hooked fish to shore, as nets were not named or intended to prohibit their use. It emphasizes popular usage and statutory ambiguity favoring the defendant and calls for upholding the legislature’s apparent intent to protect game fish rather than criminalize landing nets.
