About Kettle Creek
Kettle Creek is a 67-mile, fast-roiling freestone stream in North-Central Pennsylvania, boasting significant Class-A wild trout water. This productive fishery is home to robust populations of wild brown and brook trout, with rainbows also present, particularly in stocked sections. Anglers can anticipate prolific hatches throughout the season, including Little Black Early Stoneflies, BWOs, Blue Quills, Quill Gordons, Hendricksons, Red Quills, American March Browns, Sulphurs, Light Cahills, Pale Evening Duns, Brown Drakes, Green Drakes, Slate Drakes, and various Caddisflies. A notable Catch-and-Release, Flyfishing Only section near the SR144 Bridge offers consistent opportunities, while the upper reaches are prime territory for wild trout. Wading is feasible in many sections, though some banks can be unstable.
