Both PA
fly fishing and PA trout fishing are things that I have done ever since I was a little
kid. Hello anglers, I'm
Mark
"The Pennsylvania Creek Creature" Winfree.
Growing up with a creek right down the road, I spent endless hours
fishing. Then, as a teenager with a driver’s license, I began to travel
to different creeks throughout the great state of Pennsylvania in search
of new and exciting waters to explore. Combining both camping and
fishing it just seemed to be the natural fit and offered an inexpensive
way to spend the weekends. Since then I have traveled and fished many
streams, creeks and rivers in many parts of the country. |

Catching trout and smallmouth is fun and
rewarding whatever tackle one chooses to use. Each of the varying tackle
options uses specific techniques for catching trout. Each has their
challenges, advantages and even a few disadvantages. On my website
pages we’ll look at the different ways in which one could go about trout
fishing using different rods and reels, baits, lures and flies. We'll
also occasionally even discuss catching smallmouth bass. |
|
|
|
In addition, we’ll take a look at the tributaries
that make up the varying trout fishable waters. Most PA trout streams
fall into the category of either free stone or lime stone streams with
many of the larger rivers holding trout, as well. The large rivers like
the Susquehanna, Delaware, Allegheny to name a few, hold great
smallmouth populations too with many an angler dedicated to fishing for
just that species. |

Trout fishing, in some ways, is similar to the game of golf. Each
stream represents playing a different golf course consisting of
differing holes, fast water riffles and flat slow runs that makes
fishing them challenging, fun and enjoyable. And like golf, these
“holes” have to be “played” just right in order to score well. To help
with that, catching more fish that is, we’ll look at what makes up the
streams of Pennsylvania and suggest various ways for you to successfully
fish them.
Wildlife, in general, moves to a different rhythm than we humans
do. Learning how to make the adjustment and just become a part of their
world, for a while, will help make you a much more successful fisherman.
Understanding habitat and behavior is always the key to the natural life
around us. Cover and food are the essential ingredients to the trout’s
world too, so identifying where trout hide and knowing the foods they
prefer to eat, is always a top priority to catching them. Below the
water surface is a world completely different to what we live on a daily
basis. Part of the fun in fishing is learning about their world and the
wonders of nature that it provides.
I would like to welcome you to this website and invite you to
become my newest cyber-fishing partner. Please join me within these
pages as we mutually explore PA trout and smallmouth fishing together.
Hopefully by sharing this cyber space we can learn and improve our
fishing efforts as an information sharing team. |

A Quick Word About Supporting Each Other |
|

On my site I have not only talked about trout fishing,
fly casting, spinner and lure fishing and how to do it,
but I also have products or links available for you to
purchase different fishing related items. These items
are products I have used and feel good about. I find
they have contributed greatly to my success as a trout
fisherman. Sometimes when I feel a certain product is
one that I can’t do without I endorse it heavily with an
article or two and explain the reasons I find it so
good. I have created opportunities for you to make
purchases directly, in most cases, from my site for your
convenience, saving you time and effort.
Additionally, and to be very up front and frank, some of
the products I have available for you help me cover the
expenses that accrue bringing this site to you. It goes
without saying, I really appreciate the support you lend
by making purchases. Whenever I come across something
that can be helpful and of course useful, I want you to
know about it. My effort with this site is to help you
learn about trout fishing and to catch more trout, but
above all, have a great time while doing it. So I hope
you will support me by making a few purchases from time
to time, so I can continue to support you, the trout
fisherman ! |

Paul Frizzell Phoenixville, PA - "I have
fished with the Creek Creature, and he is one of the most
intense trout bums around. He's a fishing fool that just
catches fish. If your a serious trout angler, and ever get to
fish with the Creature, do it and you'll see what I mean. Fish
On! Fish On!" |
