Aslo what size fish do you want to catch? If your looking If you ask me you should go with a much bigger wt rod than 6 or 7.

Any suggestions? How about water levels? Im coming from beaver county and all the streams are fairly low and I havent had much luck. Also looking to for CRFFO. I was looking at maybe Penns creek or maybe somewhere along 80 on my way back. Thanks, Dan

I am aware of the Tohican Creek in Tinicum Township and Bushkill Creek in Easton. However, I have read that Bushkill Creek may not be that great of a fishing hole due to pesticides going into the creek from the lawns around the creek. Thanks, Tony
