Rainbow Trout
While not a renowned trout destination, the streams near Riverside, Pennsylvania, do offer opportunities to catch rainbow trout, especially in the spring and fall when stocking occurs. The smaller tributaries of the Susquehanna River, like Chillisquaque Creek, are periodically stocked by the PA Fish and Boat Commission. Check their stocking schedules online to plan your trip accordingly. Small spinners, worms, and trout magnets are effective baits. These streams are often narrow and heavily wooded, so a shorter rod can be beneficial for casting. A local tip: Access can be limited, so look for designated public access points along the streams. The rainbows here are typically stocked fish, so they may not be as wary as wild trout. Practice catch and release to help maintain the fishery.
