| Tulpehocken Chapter of Trout Unlimited |
| I consider the Manatawny Creek (the Manny) my home creek, not because I live in it's headwater and fish it more then any other creek, because it is the best creek in southeastern PA. Don't take my word for it, there was a study done in 2006 and it was highest rated stream in the sampling. Higher then the Tulpehocken, French, Hay, Perkioman, Valley and others. Located in Berks County, it is home to wild and stocked trout. It also has the best Sulphur hatch in the area along with Hendricksons, Caddis and Tricos. Having a population of wild brown trout and the state stocks thousands of adult trout, gives your miles of creek to fish in the beautiful Oley Valley. Come discover this under "fly" fished stream. |
