Hi everyone,
Although I am a new member of the forum, I have enjoyed reading along with the posts and learning the ropes on this forum for a couple months now. I recently started fly fishing a couple months ago with my TCO outfit and love it.
I thought I would start out my first post with a fishing stream report question. I know there is a post about Octoraro Creek but it was a couple years ago so I figured I would bring it up again.
I have been fishing Octoraro Creek for a couple days now but with now luck except with creek chubs. It is a catch and release fly fishing only creek so I figured it would be decent since the fish should stay in the creek. The creek is also stocked and holds a number of decent plunge pools that I figured would hold trout. I explored many areas of the creek around 472 (walked both directions under the 472 and Black Rock bridges, about 1/2 mile each way) and Puseyville Road. I have used all kinds of flies such as a black gnat, pheasant tailed nymphs, and green weenies but nothing seems to attract trout (if there are even any in the creek).
I just figured I would see if anyone has had any luck on this creek and if so, they could direct me in a direction that could hold more trout. I'm not asking for any secret holes, but some tips and a point in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Also, on a side note, are there any good streams for trout in southern lancaster county?
Thanks!
