New NEPA member here

[2011rex87]

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.

Dear 2011rex87,

Just how NE are you in PA? I ask because most of my experience in the general region was spent in Delaware, Otsego, and Chenango counties in NY. Just about any small hollow with a year round stream in it had wild fish and often they were brook trout.

I did fish quite a bit in the Lackawanna River, but they were wild browns. I also fished a lot in Carbon and Luzerne County and the Lehigh River tributaries. Most of them were mixed brown and brook trout. I do know that if you live around Wilkes-Barre there are a lot of places to explore for brook trout running Rte. 118 west out of town. Head uphill from Ricketts Glen to explore.

Regards,

Tim Murphy 🙂
