Spruce Creek Guided Day Trips

I will do FREE fly fishing presentations for Trout Unlimited
Clubs. These Power Point presentations include video and quality,
up to date, photos of fishing in Pennsylvania and New York.

All the club has to provide is a table and a screen. All electronic
equipment is provided by S.B.O. Fly Tying presentations are
projected on to the screen for easy viewing.

I only do a limited number of presentations a year so it is
important to book early. Current schedule can be found on
the NEWS page. Contact for more details.

Spruce Creek is a very well-known streams that is located in
South Central Pennsylvania. Because this is a limestone
stream , the hatches are very prolific and many. Spruce Creek
runs cold all year long and is considered one of the best
streams in Pennsylvania. It has many wild browns, as well as a
some stocked fish that  escaped from the private clubs
located on Spruce Creek. The bad news ... much of the water
on this creek is either privately owned or club property. You
can gain access to the creek from most of the outfitters on
the river for a fee and it is best to make a reservation. There
is one open stretch of water, about a mile above the town of
Spruce Creek, that is owned by Penn State. It is usually
crowded with fisherman. It is worth a visit and if you are
willing to put time in, you might get one of the 3-5 pound
trout, that grow up there or escape from one of the clubs.
