Brown Trout
If you're targeting brown trout near Cornwall, PA, you'll want to focus your efforts on the deeper, more secluded sections of the Conewago Creek and its larger tributaries. While rainbows are more common, browns are present and can grow to impressive sizes. The best time to target them is during the spring and fall when water temperatures are cooler and the browns are more active. Early mornings and late evenings are prime times. Stealth is crucial; these fish are wary. Try using natural-looking lures or flies that imitate local insects and baitfish. Look for undercut banks, submerged logs, and deep pools where browns like to hold. Access can be challenging in some areas, so be prepared to do some hiking. Consider exploring the stretch of the creek near Governor Dick Park, but always respect private property and observe posted signs. Also, pay close attention to water clarity, as browns prefer slightly stained water.
