Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Catawissa can be a rewarding experience, particularly in the stocked streams and rivers throughout the region. The Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regularly stocks many of these waters, offering anglers ample opportunity to catch these beautiful fish. Spring and early summer, immediately following stocking, are peak times. Fall is also productive as the water cools down. A local tip: Check the PFBC stocking schedules online before you go to find recently stocked locations. Roaring Creek and its tributaries are popular choices. Be aware that these areas can get crowded, especially on weekends. Rainbow trout in stocked waters are often eager to bite, but using a variety of techniques can increase your success. Small spinners, worms, and salmon eggs are all effective. Remember to check regulations regarding bait restrictions and creel limits before you start fishing.
