About Fishing Creek - Bloomsburg
Fishing Creek is a 29.98-mile tributary of the Susquehanna River in North Central Pennsylvania, renowned for its robust wild brown trout population, complemented by native brook trout. This spring-fed stream offers a diverse fly fishing experience, particularly in its Narrows section, with a mix of swift riffles and calm pools ideal for wading and dry fly fishing. Anglers can anticipate significant insect activity, including hatches of Green Drake, Black Caddis, and Sulphur, which consistently bring trout to the surface. Rainbow trout, smallmouth bass, and various sunfish species also inhabit the creek. Accessible locations like Benton, Knob Mountain Wildlife Sanctuary, Stony Brook Fly Shop, and Bloomsburg Town Park provide varied fishing opportunities, from secluded spots like Curtin Village and Elk Creek to family-friendly areas. Standard gear recommendations include a 9-foot, 5-weight fly rod with 5X tippet.
