Rainbow Trout
If you're looking to hook into some beautiful Rainbow Trout in central Pennsylvania, Danville offers some great opportunities. The Susquehanna River, along with its tributary streams like Mahoning Creek, are regularly stocked and hold wild populations as well. Spring and fall are prime times, with the trout actively feeding before and after the heat of summer. For the best action, focus on the faster-moving sections of Mahoning Creek, especially after a light rain when the water is slightly stained. A local tip: access to Mahoning Creek is good along Route 54, but be mindful of private property and respect posted boundaries. The Rainbows here average a decent size, with some pushing into the 16-18 inch range, especially in the deeper pools. Don't be afraid to experiment with small spinners and dry flies to find what they're hitting on any given day.
