Penns Creek - Real Time Stream Conditions / Click the links below

Latest Fishing Report:   Stream: Penns Creek Water Conditions: still dropping and still a little high Date of Update: 2/8/2010 Author: TCO State College Staff Highlight: The current flow @ the Penn's Creek gauge is 588. Average for today is 350 cfs. NOTE: Though the spawn is over, please respect the resource and fish away from any spawning beds. Trout eggs will not hatch for as long as two months after spwaning occurs. It it vital that anglers refrain from walking through empty redds. They look like brightly colored depressions and mounds of gravel. Anglers can crush the trout eggs by walking through the redds, greatly diminishing future generations of trout. General Update: A few midges have been hatching but surface activity has been very slow in the cold water conditions. ANGLERS VISITING OUR AREA.........SPECIFICALLLY THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE JUST FISHED THE DELAWARE RIVER (OR OTHER STREAMS IN NY'S CATSKILL REGION) OR MARYLAND'S GUNPOWDER, PLEASE CLEAN YOUR BOOTS AND WADER WITH A DILUTED BLEACH SOLUTION, OR HOT WATER (OVER 140 DEGREES f) AND LAUNDRY DETERGENT--IT MUST SOAK FOR AT LEAST A HALF HOUR. DIDYMO HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN THESE WATERSHEDS. Or even better yet, get a second pair of boots and waders to wear only in infected waters. It's the only sure way not to spread Didymo. .............BE RESPONSIBLE-DONT SPREAD DIDYMO TO Central PA!! Click here to learn more about DIDYMO. This is a real threat to all of us!
