Rainbow Trout
Rainbow trout fishing near Centralia, PA, requires a bit of a drive, but the effort can be rewarding. Several stocked streams in the surrounding state game lands and parks offer opportunities to catch rainbows. Look for streams that are regularly stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission. Spring, immediately after stocking, is the easiest time to catch these fish. Fall stockings also provide good fishing as water temperatures cool. While some holdover fish can survive the winter, they can be more challenging to target. Access to these streams is generally good, with parking areas and trails nearby. Be sure to check the PFBC stocking schedules online before you go. A simple setup with bait or small spinners is often effective for freshly stocked rainbows. Local tip: pay attention to water clarity; rainbows can be skittish in clear water, so fishing after a light rain can improve your odds.
