General Info

Specific Tips

It's Springtime! We have reached our hatch season in central Pennsylvania at long last. Nymphing in the morning before hatches and watching for rising fish in the afternoon are the names of the game. Fish hold in prime lies like riffles and runs this time of year, so target these spots with your nymphs. During hatches, fish generally slide out to pools and tailouts to feed on dry flies. Rising fish can appear anywhere on Spring Creek, so keep your eyes open!
