Fly Fishing Spring Creek Pennsylvania
Spring Creek, a limestone spring creek, is one of
Pennsylvania's best trout streams even though it flows
through a rather populated area. The stream has more
wild brown trout in a given amount of water than any
stream in the state.
Spring Creek is easy to wade in most places and there
are plenty of points to access it. The "catch and release
only rules" should insure Spring Creek stays a top
quality trout stream. A large portion of the stream is
rated a Class A stream by the PFBC.
There are several limestone tributary creeks, that add
clear, cold water to its flow including Cedar Run, Slab
Cabin Run, Logan Branch, and Buffalo Run. Each of
these streams also provide excellent fishing.
The stream is approximately twenty miles long from its
beginning down to the confluence of Bald Eagle Creek
at Milesburg. The entire stream has a good population
of wild brown trout.
Some of the stream's uppermost end flows through
private property but the majority of the stream can be
fish from nearby roads that follow the stream just about
its entire length. There are some special regulations
including a mile long Heritage water known as
Fisherman's Paradise.
Seasons:
Fly fishing Spring Creek is good year-round.
Spring:
Springtime brings about the best aquatic insect hatches
and usually the best fishing.
Summer:
Fishing is good all summer long because the stream
usually remains fairly cool.
Fall:
Autumn is when the brown trout spawn and a great time
to catch a trophy. Just don't catch them from their redds.
Winter:
Wintertime fishing is possible and often very productive.

The best way to catch trout consistently on Spring Creek
is to fish what is either hatching or about to hatch. Its
