Rainbow Trout
Markleysburg provides access to some beautiful mountain streams perfect for pursuing rainbow trout. The cool, clear waters of the Youghiogheny River and its tributaries, such as Meadow Run, are regularly stocked and hold wild populations of rainbows. Spring and early summer are the best times to fish, coinciding with stocking schedules and insect hatches. Later in the summer, focus on deeper pools and shaded areas to find trout seeking cooler water. A local tip is to try small dry flies during the evening hatches. Also, be prepared to hike a bit to reach the more secluded stretches of the streams, as these tend to hold larger, less pressured fish. Be aware of special regulations on certain sections of the river; some are catch-and-release only or have specific gear restrictions. A Pennsylvania fishing license with a trout/salmon permit is required.
