MY LITTLE BROTHER SENT THESE TROUT PICS....

FROM AN UNNAMED PA CREEK...

JIMMY WITH A GREAT PENNS CREEK BROWN....
..

OIL CREEK HAS BEEN VERY GOOD RECENTLY....

It seems no matter where guys are fishing in PA it has been very good. Sulphurs are starting to pop good and the March Brown spinner falls have been thick. Sulphurs in my opinion are probably the best bug in PA because the trout can't seem to resist them and they bring up big fish. If you are planning to go to PA trout fishing the next two weeks are looking very promising. Stop in the shop for the patterns that have been working best.

Some large smallmouth are still being caught and good numbers of smaller river fish as well but the rivers are very low and clear making everything a little spooky. Guys have reported catching everything from catfish, to muskies, to garfish, to you name it in the rivers recently especially lower down so if you are planning on going out be prepared for anything.

Pond and small lake fishing has again been very good as the Bluegill are on beds making sight fishing very good and the Bass have been feeding very well on top with the warmer weather.
