Brown Trout
Tunkhannock, PA, offers some surprisingly good brown trout fishing, largely thanks to the Tunkhannock Creek and its tributaries. This area is known for its wild browns, although there are also stocked sections that supplement the population. Spring and fall are prime times. In the spring, focus on the pre-spawn and early season hatches, while in the fall, the browns become aggressive again as they prepare to spawn. Access to the creek is generally good via several road crossings, but be mindful of private property. A local tip: pay close attention to water levels after rain. The creek can blow out quickly, but it also clears quickly, and those periods of clearing water can trigger some excellent fishing. Wading can be tricky in spots due to slippery rocks, so felt-soled boots are highly recommended. The browns here aren't always huge, but they are plentiful and often willing to take a well-presented dry fly or nymph.
