About Bell's Gap Run

Bell's Gap Run is a designated Class-A wild trout fishery, a small but productive tributary to the Little Juniata River. This creek is home to wild brook trout and offers the chance to encounter brown trout as well, despite ongoing efforts to manage invasive species. Anglers will find success by targeting obvious lies and runs, employing techniques that highlight these prime holding spots. While specific insect hatches are not detailed, the presence of wild trout suggests consistent insect activity throughout the fishing season. This intimate stream offers a classic wild trout experience for those willing to seek out its productive pockets.
