By: Joey Usher As with last season Pennsylvania steelhead anglers are being faced with low water again this fall. On a positive note, however, the sheer number of steelhead and their average size is on the rise. I’ve been up to target them several times this fall and have found success on steelies although the […]
By: Isaac Zettle It’s an exciting time for brown trout in Central Pennsylvania. For the first time in almost a year we’re starting to see vibrant color on these fish. We’re starting to see those red spots with white rings around them and that deep, vivid yellow that tells us winter is only a few […]
By: Joey Usher Trout fishing in the summertime in Pennsylvania is limited. There are not a lot of places that hold trout year round. I can only think of a few in the region where a trout angler can experience a quality trout fishery this time of year. To experience this I hopped in the […]
By: Chris Shaffer Lehigh River veteran fishing guide Paul Davidson looked at the sky and warned us. Citing a high sun, clear water and substantial heat he expected a slow bite. In fact, he said we’d be fortunate to land a few fish. Despite the conditions we were in town to show Davidson (and many […]

By: Chris Shaffer Trout fishing is quickly petering out in Eastern Pennsylvania. Meanwhile, not all streams have gone troutless yet. In fact, action on the Little Lehigh Creek last week couldn’t have been much better. Quality fishing should persist for another few weeks and while the PA Fish & Boat Commission has completed trout stocking […]
By: Chris Shaffer Central Pennsylvania is littered with famous trout streams. Meanwhile, few gain as much attention as Spring and Penns Creek, both of which have been on our radar for a few years. Fortunately, while we were staying in State College last week both were fishable. The previous year they were so high and […]
By: Chris Shaffer We were scheduled to film in West Virginia last week. Meanwhile, with nasty weather and heavy rain predicted after filming on the Youghiogheny River in Southwest Pennsylvania last Monday we rerouted and drove several hours north to avoid the storm and salvage a week. Because of it’s central location to an endless […]
By: Chris Shaffer When we drove by Central Pennsylvania’s Canoe Creek Monday recent storms had given the popular trout fishing stream a makeover since the opener.
