Hello, everyone. I moved here to NEPA a few years ago from Colorado. Been a spinrod fisherman my whole life up until this year. A coworker gifted me some fly fishing gear so I figured I would give it a shot. Had some luck so far with dries, nymphing, hoppers, and wollys. Mainly using 2wt and 5wt setups. Gotta say.. so far my favorite is catching small wild brookies on my 2wt with dries.

I have mainly fished stockers in Wayne, Wyoming, Susquehanna, Lackawanna, and Luzerne county, with a little experience in Monroe and Carbon county. I am new to the area so feel free to send me a message or reply here. Always looking for new friends.

I have done a bit of blue lining and have been successful at finding exactly 2 wild brookie streams, 1 in Lackawanna county and 1 in Monroe county. Don't mind sharing.

Thanks for reading. Looking forward to hearing from everyone.

Well done, with that Blue-Lining!

Welcome from the far-too-warm-for-November plains of Iowa.

Thanks. I was lucky enough to rent a house a couple years ago within walking distance to a blueline trib to the Lehigh that was just perfect and stuffed with wild brookies. Very aggressive. Now I know where to go. Never seen a single other person fishing that stream.
