Rainbow Trout
For rainbow trout fishing near New Britain, PA, consider exploring the Neshaminy Creek and its tributaries. While not known for trophy-sized rainbows, these waterways are regularly stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission, offering a readily accessible trout fishery. Spring and fall are prime times to target these freshly stocked fish, but you can find holdovers throughout the year in deeper pools and shaded areas. A local secret is to check the PFBC stocking schedules online and plan your trip shortly after a stocking for the best chance of success. For access, look for designated access points along the Neshaminy Creek, but be mindful of private property. Small spinners, worms, and trout magnets are effective baits. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and creel limits before you head out, as they can vary depending on the specific section of the creek.
