Rainbow Trout
For Rainbow Trout enthusiasts, Hydetown, PA, and its surrounding areas offer a rewarding fishing experience. While not as abundant as Brown Trout, Rainbows can be found in the same Oil Creek tributaries, including Pine Creek and Caldwell Creek. These creeks are regularly stocked, providing ample opportunities to catch these colorful fish. Spring is undoubtedly the best time to target rainbows, immediately after stocking. The fish are often eager to take a variety of baits and lures. Fly fishing can also be effective, especially with nymph patterns imitating emerging insects. As the water warms in the summer, rainbows tend to seek cooler, deeper pools. Caldwell Creek, known for its slightly cooler temperatures due to spring influences, can remain productive even during warmer months. When accessing these streams, use caution as banks can be steep and slippery. Also, check the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission website for stocking schedules to maximize your chances of success.
