Pohopoco creek below Beltsville

[LehighRegular]

The Parryville dam is used for a source of drinking water (backup I believe) for Palmerton.

Of all the times I've fished there, I've never had a bad experience and caught plenty of trout. Like anything, it takes patience and understanding of the stream your fishing and the trout habits. There are better stretches of water that hold more wild browns than directly below the dam outlet.

Been there at least three times, skunked each time. May I ask how you addressed the stream, what you lead off with or swapped to and which techniques you used?

I'm about 3 years in, starting on the West Ausable in the Adirondacks. Somehow managed to land 2 wilds there alone (total beginners luck) and 2 in P.A. (stockers). Other than that, despite watching a million videos, trying hundreds of different things, no fish.

Any help at all would - help.

Thx

Find a Class A stream with a healthy biomass and fish it with a parachute Ant, or parachute Adams pattern. Can't go wrong. 😉
