The following is a brief description of the four premier limestone trout streams in our region. Please feel free to contact us for more information on these or any of the other angling opportunities in our area.

From the city of State College (home of Penn State University) to it's confluence with the Bald Eagle Creek in the town of Milesburg, this stream is regulated as a Trout Management Area. No kill regulations apply to this stream. There is also a special section called Fisherman's Paradise that is regulated as Heritage Angling, which is barbless flies only, no wading. Wading is permitted on the rest of the stream. Angling is permitted year round on these waters.

As the name implies this is a true limestone spring creek. A medium sized stream containing predominately brown trout, with some rainbows in the mix as well. On rare occasions a brook trout can still be found.

From it's source at Penn's Cave, this creek flows through Penn's Valley in Centre County, which contains the majority of the best trout water. A combination of special regulations allow for approximately 11 miles of year round trout water.

This is a large limestone stream, with a freestone nature, located in a remote setting. A walk along an old railroad trail will access the stream. A mixture of brown and rainbow trout inhabit it's waters.

From it's source in Sugar Valley, Fishing Creek flows to the University town of Lock Haven. There are five miles of special regulations water which is open year round on Fishing Creek. This section is known as "the narrows" by the locals.

About the same size as Spring Creek, it is a limestone stream that has freestone characteristics. This stream has a mixture of brown and brook trout, with the occasional rainbow.

From it's beginnings near Altoona the "Little J" flows toward the town of Huntingdon, home of the county seat and Juniata College. About 13.5 miles of the best water are open year round due to special regulations.

Similar in character to the narrows section of Fishing Creek, only on a much larger scale, this is another large limestone stream with a freestone feel. Mostly inhabited by brown trout with a rainbow here and there.
