Rainbow Trout
The streams around Emporium are periodically stocked with rainbow trout, offering anglers a chance to catch these colorful fish. The Driftwood Branch of the Sinnemahoning Creek and its tributaries receive regular stockings. Spring, immediately after stocking, is a popular time to fish, but rainbows can be caught throughout the summer and fall. Access is generally good, with several road crossings and parking areas along the stocked sections. Consider using traditional trout baits like worms, corn, or salmon eggs, as well as small spinners and spoons. Fly fishing with nymphs and streamers can also be effective. Remember to check the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission website for stocking schedules and regulations. Rainbow trout in this area provide a great opportunity for anglers of all skill levels to enjoy a day on the water.
