Spent about 24hrs at a friends cabin on Pine creek- Waterville area. Have never been to that area before. Temp was 68 degrees on pine. Caught a handful of smallmouth- nothing above 12-13” and about a dozen fallfish between 16-18”. The fallfish gave a tremendous fight with head shakes. Caught on small streamers and dry flies. Hit a small trib and caught some natives and a couple browns. Such a beautiful area.

Wow such beautiful fish , fall fish are the un- sung hero's of many trips and I enjoy them just as much as trout some days .
 
I nice collection of fish. Must have been a great time. That is one of those areas in Pennsylvania you don't mind getting lost in for while just taking in the views.
 
Fall in that area is beautiful - especially inside the gorge.
Cant think of another place I'd rather be for the foliage.
Anyone going to there now, should really try to get one of the overlooks that dot the canyon
