Angler enjoying the magic hour on PA's Spring Creek.

Trout fishing in PA remains very good though the heat and high sun slowed things down some this past week. The recent rains and cooler temps however should mean continued great fishing for anglers in search of Pennsylvania's spotted jewels. Anglers going up this week should have some sulphurs, cahills, ants, beetles, brown drakes, coffin flies, and slate drakes in good supply. For those looking for a nice day trip Oil Creek has been great again this spring and still has sulphurs popping and the Cahills have started which is a strong hatch that brings plenty of fish to the surface as well. If nothing is hatching on your favorite trout stream go deep with the appropriate match hatching nymphs or stay up top with terrestrials or attractors like a royal wulff or adams.

Nice size wild PA Brook Trout caught on a little known spring creek.

Shop is stocked up with the latest summer gear.


Locally some rivers are high and off color due to the recent deluge we experienced yesterday and last night. The Chagrin is very high and will not fish for a few days nor will the Grand. The Conneaut however did not receive much water and should fish tomorrow for those looking to get out after some lake run smallies. The smallmouth fishing has remained pretty good for both lake runners and resident fish, hot flies have been clousers minnows, crippled clousers, full motion crawfish, and wiggle minnows. The lake run smallmouth fishing should remain strong for the next couple of weeks for those still getting out. On the carp front last weeks warm temps
had the golden bones up on the flats and tailing in pretty good numbers. Expect that number to increase as more of these brutes finish their spawn.
