Fly Fishing Gear for Fishing Creek Pennsylvania
There are some nice size brown trout in Fishing Creek. You don't want to hook one and end
up loosing it because of poor, inadequate tackle or gear.
Fly Line:
We suggest a 5 weight, floating fly line for most all of the fly-fishing. We recommend a 6
weight, floating fly line for heavier streamers and nymphs.
Fly Rod:
The five weight rod should be between eight and nine feet in length. A medium to moderate
action would be our choice. This would allow you to fish small flies Yet protect fine tippets.
The 6 weight rod would be best in a nine foot length and a medium fast action. A slightly
stiffer tip would help with the nymphs and streamers.
Fly Reel:
The reel for either of these two rods should have a good drag. You don't want to hang a
large trout and loose it because of a lousy drag. Disc drags would be preferred.
Leaders:
You should use at least a 9 foot leader anywhere and anytime on Fishing Creek. A twelve
foot length and even longer length may be the right choice in some situations. You should
have them in sizes ranging from 1X for streamers, up to 7X for small dry flies. I wouldn't go
any lighter on this stream.
Tippet:
Carry extra tippet material in sizes ranging from 1X to 7X.
Waders:
We suggest you wear waders anywhere you fish Fishing Creek. We prefer the breathable
type.
Wading Boots:
Felt soles would be our first choice. The new rubber soles may also work well. We have not
tested them there. Fishing Creek is a very slick stream.
Flies:
We recommend "Perfect Fly" Trout Flies. We have specific imitations of everything that exist
in Fishing Creek that the trout eat. The flies are not only asrealistic as you will find on the
commercial market, they are the most effective at catching trout. Many have been tested on
Fishing Creek. Our scud and sowbug flies are very effective on the stream. If you haven't
done so already, we hope you give them a try. You will be glad you did.
