Rainbow Trout
Chasing rainbows in Bloomfield, Pennsylvania, means exploring the Loyalhanna Creek watershed and its tributaries. This area offers classic freestone stream fishing for stocked and holdover rainbow trout. Spring, after the initial stockings, and fall, when the water cools and trout become more active before winter, are prime times. The Loyalhanna is regularly stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. Consider targeting areas around bridges and public access points along Route 30 for easier accessibility. Be aware that water levels can fluctuate rapidly after rainfall, so check conditions before heading out. Local tip: try small spinners or live bait like mealworms in the deeper pools, especially during the warmer months. Look for wild browns as well; they are present in the system and can be quite selective. Remember to check creel limits and licensing requirements before fishing.
