Small stream fever...

I love small streams, and I love small streams in Pennsylvania.  This week, I had the fortune to be in Philly, so I took an extra day to fish in the Lehigh Vally, around Allentown.  The Little Lehigh Creek flows across farms, meadows, parks and yards to merge with the Lehigh River.  It is stocked in some areas, and has two special 'fly-fishing only' areas as well.  You might want to visit the Heritage Fly Shop off Fish Hatchery Rd, in a stream house run by a very nice guy, Ron.  Some wild, some stocked, a dream to fish.

Go-To Fly

The more I fish for trout, and in more places, the more I am convinced that what I read is true...there are midges everywhere.  It seems that I can always catch a trout on a zebra midge, red or black, wherever I go. It amazes me that big trout eat such a little creature, but they do.  Easy to tie, easy to fish, the go-to fly.

fish more, take a kid, enjoy nature.
