Fly Fishing Young Womans Creek
Pennsylvania
Young Womans Creek is one of Pennsylvania's better
freestone streams. Both its Left and Right Branches and
its main stream hold trout although I think the branches
are the best. The Right Branch of the creek has a
Selective Harvest Area that runs from the Beechwood
Trail downstream to the state forest boundary. The state
still stocks much of the stream but I have always
wondered it that was really necessary. It does have
some streamborn trout and as well as holdover brown
trout. The stockers compete for the food and it has to
have an effect on the wild trout.
Fly fishing Young Womans Creek is generally good
anytime of the season because the water stays cool. It
has a very good canopy of tree limbs that covers most
of its water. The higher up the two branches you travel,
the smaller the stream gets and the cooler the water
stays. The stream can be accessed from state road
#120.
This stream has a good number of hatches. Its Blue
Quill, Hendricksons, Quill Gordons, Sulphurs and Green
Drake hatches are among the better ones but it has just
about all the mayflies that exist in Pennsylvania. The
stream also has a good number of stoneflies such as
Little Yellow and Little Green Stoneflies. It also has
Large Giant Stoneflies. Of course there's several
different species of caddisflies but most of the are the
Green Sedges, Cinnamon and Brachycentrus species.
Young Womans Creek is easy to wade. It consist of lots
of long pools with riffles between them. There are
various size rocks and boulders scattered throughout
the water creating pockets and hiding places for the
brown trout. All in all, its a stream you wouldn't want to
pass up.
Seasons:
The season is the standard Pennsylvania trout season.
Spring:
Springtime is the best time for fly fishing Young Womans
Creek due to the hatches.
Summer:
Summertime is okay except during the hottest days in its
lower section.
Fall:
Fall is the best time to catch the larger brown trout
Winter:
Wintertime can be tough and the water can be frozen in
places
