Fly Fishing Little Lehigh Creek
Pennsylvania
The Little Lehigh Creek is a limestone spring creek that
starts in Berks County, flows into Lehigh County and into
the city limits of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The eighteen mile
long stream is a tributary of the Lehigh River. The stream is
stocked in Berks County. The best fishing is in Lehigh
County. It provides excellent dry fly fishing and has some
fine hatches of aquatic insects as well as plenty of scuds.
There is a "Delayed Harvest Fly Fishing Only" area, from
the T-508 bridge downstream to the T-510 bridge. This is
almost two miles of delayed harvest water. The stream in
this area consist of both wild and stocked trout. The stream
fishes very good from the DLH area all the way to the
Allentown Park System. The area in the City is very well
maintained and lined almost solid with trees that help keep
the water cool during the summer. There is a "Hertitage
Trout Angling" area that runs from the Fish Hatchery Road
Bridge to the 24th Street Bridge. This limits the fishing to fly
fishing only and other restrictions according to the State of
Pennsylvania laws. This area is approximately one mile
long.
Seasons:
You can fish the Little Lehigh year-round and catch trout
year-round.
Spring:
Springtime can be a good time for fly fishing Little Lehigh
Creek, especially the later part of Spring.
Summer:
Because of the numerous aquatic insect hatches,
summertime is usually the best time to fish the Little Lehigh.
Fall:
Early fall can be especially good but trout can be taken the
entire fall season.
Winter:
Winter can be good on nice warm days. Midge patterns
usually produce well.
Fly Fishing Guide for Little Lehigh Creek:
You have to pay attention to the hatches of the aquatic
insects on the Little Lehigh to fish it successfully on a
consistent basis. (Click Here to Continue)
