Hi,
I was wondering if anyone has fished the class A wild rainbow trout streams in Schuykill County? I was looking at checking them out but looks like the are on private land. Didn't know if I should waste my time to go up there to find out I can't fish them. One is named cold creek and the other is owl creek.
 
Nice catch. I fished owl once it they had drained the res. I didnt see a fish and the habitat looked real bad.

Perhaps they draining just made them hide. hmmmmm imma have to check this out again.
 
Oh not not Owl Creek. That place is the twilight zone.
Believe it or not but the Schuykill, or is it the Little Schuykill that has the Special Reg water in that area? Either way, while up there last time with Sal we fished it before trying Owl Creek and were catching wild bows once we went upstream above the sprecial reg area.
 
I take it it is accesable? Is that true?
 
I caught some small rainbows one Fall in the stocked section of Cold Run on SGL 222 a few years ago. The Class A list has them in Cold Run above the confluence with Beaver Creek, but the only time I fished that I caught all brookies.
 
jkilroy,

Are you asking about Owl Creek?

Yes it is accessible but for one problem. When we arrived @ the parking area at the Res. all the spaces were for the handicapped. :lol: I still can figure why the handicapped need 15 parking spots and none for us walking folks. More over, how the heck is a handicapped person going to move around that lake without help? :lol:

Spectors reference to the Twilight zone is dead on. I saw so many strange and unexplained things that day, i never wanted to comeback. Im just glad we made it out alive :lol:

Somethings we saw:

anyone ever heard of Liquid Chlorine Gas? How the heck can something be a liquid and a gas? :lol:

Why is Santa Clause hanging from a tree in the middle of the woods? More over why the hell would the easter bunny leave eggs in the trees :lol:

Water from the res. apparently just disappears and the stream forms from its own. Took us a min to figure that one out but we did :lol:

Down the road on another stream.....Pogo has a Bog that must be a low rent redneck minture golf course :lol:

And finally....

When you have tires, washing machines, old cars, rusting metal and just a tone of junk laying around the streambank.......why would you plant flowers? I mean isnt that kinda like putting 1000 dollar rims on a rusted out Ford Escort? :lol:

That whole area just kinda freaks me out :)
 
Welcome to schuykill County lol
 
I guess I won't be going to Owl creek class A
 
Cold Run is accessible, and I have caught wild bows there, but there are more wild brookies then bows. As a bonus, or not , there are wild browns too. Much of Cold Run is on private land but it is a stocked streamand is open to fishing. There is an SLG section so there is public access too. Some places are posted. Don't tresspass.
Last time I fished Owl Creek was before it was listed as a Bow stream, it was loaded with brookies then. But this was just after a storm that blew down a ton of trees down near rt. 309 and many trees were over the creek. This made it very hard to walk along and wade. Haven't been back since.
