| Manatawny Creek, Berks County |
| The Manatawny Creek is one of the best kept secrets in Berks County. The Manatawny is stocked by the state with over 10,000 Brown and Rainbow trout every year. It also has a wild population of Brown Trout. When the hatches appear the fishing is at its best. The year starts out with Black Stoneflies in late winters followed by Hendricksons and Caddis. The Hendricksons show up early, sometimes there is a great hatch on opening day. May brings some March Browns, Cahills and end with Sulphurs. Things slow down over the summer but pick up in late August and until the snow flies. During the late summer you can find Trico, Cahills, Sulphers and BWO. Isonychia show up in September. Hoppers, Ants and any Attractor patterns work in the fall also. The key is knowing where these flies hatch on the creek. It also helps to know where the trout like to hold in the different times of the year and water conditions. The Manatawny offers a variety of water to fish, long calm pools, riffles and fast pocket water. It's an easy drive from the Philadelphia suburbs and has less fly fishing pressure then most streams. You might even catch a 16 inch Palomino or 18 inch Smallmouth, I have! PLEASE "Catch & Release" to keep the Manatawny Creek a productive and enjoyable stream year round. |
