Brown Trout
While not a renowned trout destination, Youngstown, PA, does offer some limited opportunities for Brown Trout fishing. Dunbar Creek, located a short drive from Youngstown, is a stocked stream that can provide some action, particularly in the spring and fall. This is a smaller, more intimate stream, best suited for light tackle and fly fishing. Focus on pools and undercut banks where trout tend to hold. A local tip: Check the stocking schedules from the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, as recent stockings will greatly increase your chances of success. Dunbar Creek is easily accessible from Route 119, with several pull-offs along the road. The Brown Trout in Dunbar Creek are typically stockies, averaging 8-12 inches, but holdovers can reach larger sizes. Be aware that fishing pressure can be high, especially after stocking, so consider fishing during weekdays or off-peak hours.
