Use this information to estimate the
weight of your catch after measuring a
fish's length. This information was compiled from statewide lists of surveyed
waterways, so predicted weights are statewide averages. All weights are estimates
in pounds.
Cut out or photocopy this page and
stash it in your tackle box or fishing vest!
For more lengths and weights, plus ages
visit the fish species pages on our
website, www.fish.state.pa.us.
