Spring Creek: Anglers have been catching trout using small dry flies also spinners and live bait. Sulphurs have been hatching for the past couple weeks.
Clinton / W. Lycoming Counties
The recent heavy rains in the area have raised the water levels and have made the streams almost impossible to fish. For anglers looking to go trout fishing, Little Pine Lake may be your best bet in the area. Please use caution around the water at all time, but especially in high water events where the danger is much greater.
McKean County
Water temperatures in the county had been rising, but with the recent cold weather the temperatures are stuck around the low 50’s. The cold water is great for trout and the anglers chasing them! Look for fishing to pick up once this cold weather snaps and we get a few days of warmer weather.
This past weekend the Alleghany reservoir clean up took place and was a big success! Thanks to the 81 volunteers who picked up trash and helped clean up the waterway. The McKean County Conservation District, The Army Corps of Engineers and the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission teamed up with many local businesses make this day happen. Thank you again to everybody that participated! |
