Sunil - since I lived in PA for 10 yrs I am sure that trapping adult SMB and other gamefish is illegal in PA. Local game warden may be watching for the owner of an unidentifed or unmarked fish trap. Memphis Net and Twine have adult fish traps. Homemade traps of larger size work good. If trapping adult fish I think a nylon cord or soft twine mesh would be easier on the fish than wire mesh.
I do not use my large traps in streams or public waters near me because it is illegal.
