Newbie: SE PA flies
"redbike" wrote...
I was wondering if anyone might be able to suggest some flies for this
time of year for this area. I'm also looking for any resources,
websites for SE PA, or NE PA as well.
There is a free monthly guide called "Fly Fishing Guide" or something like
that, free in local tackle shops. It's divided into sections like NE PA, SE
pA, etc., and has stream and fly tips for each month, plus a Lefty Kreh
article, so on.
Charles Meck's book "Pennsylvania Trout Streams and Their Hatches" is a
great resource, both for stream info, and for hatch info. Dwight Landis'
book "Trout Streams of Pennsylvania" also has lots of great info & maps.
Also of interest is Joseph Armstrong's book "Guide to Pennsylvania Limestone
Streams". All of these are available in the Bucks Co. library system, or if
you're in the D-town area, Dave's usually has them or could get them for
you.
Also, don't forget that while we have lots of excellent trout streams in the
area as well as north and west of us, this area also has outstanding river
and small stream smallmouth action all year round.
Lastly, if you'd like to hone your flyfishing chops on some beautiful and
well-stocked water, you can't do better than contacting Liberty Council BSA
and getting a permit for Ressica Falls on Bushkill Creek. Excellent
freestone sith lots of pools and riffles and runs, lots of fish, good
hatches, open year-round, maybe 1 1/2 hours from D-town.
