A  nice Neshannock Creek brown trout.

     The rain has made fishable water conditions tough to find however it helped a high number of fish make it through the summer. Expect an excellent number of holdover fish next spring and terrific fishing. Fishing in 2007 should be comparable to that of 2004. We should be seeing even more fish like the one in the picture above.
     I haven't had an opportunity to add new content to this site but I am planning on adding a detailed description of Coolspring Creek over the fall and winter. I will also be expanding the Neshannock Creek information pages and adding some short how-to articles..
  Enjoy the site!

    9/24/06 - Fishing has been disrupted by constant rain which has left local streams high and muddy for extended periods. When conditions are suitable for fishing, small flies have still been the key to success. Terrestrials are still effective and will remain a good choice until cold weather sets in. Trout will be stocked in the DHALO area in Oct. Larger and gaudier flies will be effective for these fish.
     Steelhead fishing is about the only fishing that has benefited from the constant rain. Plan your trips to correspond with falling water levels. Most Erie tributaries will have reached prime condition 1-2 days after heavy rain.

Unfortunately I cannot fish everyday. Thus, my report might not be as recent as you would like. If you find that my report is out date or if you suspect that recent weather conditions may have significantly affected the stream, you should check the daily report found on    The Neshannock Creek Fly Shop web site.
