Fly Fishing Bushkill Creek Pennsylvania
Big Bushkill Creek and its tributary stream, the Little
Bushkill Creek, are nice trout streams located in the
Poconos. The fishing area of Big Bushkill is less than
twelve miles long and half of it is under the Delayed
Harvest Fly Fishing Only Regulations of Pennsylvania. Big
Bushkill is a tributary of the Delaware River. The stream
starts above Jacobsburg Park.
There are several areas that offer access to the stream.
The Ressica Falls Scout Reservation is one of those areas.
It is a beautiful place to fish. The stream has several
smaller waterfalls that makes it a popular place for other
recreational users.
Parts of this stream can get too warm for good trout fishing
during the hot summer. Most anglers prefer to fish it during
the Spring and early June. That is one of the reasons for
the Delayed Harvest Section.
Little Bushkill is also a good trout stream. Likes its name
implies, it is just a small version of the Big Bushkill. Both
streams have good hatches and provide good dry fly
fishing at certain times of the year.
