Top 30 Trout Fishing Streams in Pennsylvania

As a lifelong Pennsylvanian and devoted angler, I’ve spent countless hours wading through some of the finest trout streams our state has to offer. If you’re seeking advice or just some insider tips, you’re in the right place. From the renowned hatches of Penns Creek to the tranquil banks of...

Yeah you may be right cause only one of the two Fishing Creeks is listed, the one in Columbia County, not the one in Clinton County.

Also, I guess the Letort has lost some prestige if it isn't in the top 30 of someone's list of PA's best trout waters.

Most on that list are well known, results oriented stocked trout streams and/or sentimental favorites of the author, hardly the criteria a place like the Letort would fall under.

With the aforementioned criteria in mind, how did Tulpehocken Creek NOT make the list...

I couldn’t possibly agree with this list any more. To the T. No reason to stray from these 30 streams. Keep you busy for a lifetime, and they nailed the best of the best!

I am catching your sarcasm, but in all seriousness you could certainly spend a lifetime on those 30 streams listed.

I know I could spend a lifetime fishing streams within an hour of my home and 1. never fish them all and 2. never get bored.

Yep. Time is my most valuable fishing asset. Nothing else even close.

My first instinct when opening it was that it was AI, but then I got over it because it's still fun to "rank" waterways and just think about how annoyed it makes me and others 🤣

Letort just ain’t worth the trip anymore as far as the angling experience goes - visiting to pay respects to some streamline ghosts is acceptable - but don’t expect bunches of rising trout or “dense hatches” there’s a reason why you’ll probably have the barnyard stretch to yourself …
