Headed to NC and PA for 2 weeks soon to hassle real trout. Intend to hit the Davidson in NC, and in PA Falling Spring Branch, the Letort, Big Spring Creek and then to the PA Wilds area to hit Kettle Creek, Little Juniata, Young Woman's Creek, Cross Fork, Big Pine and who knows what else. In preparation, here's what I have been up to...

Assorted brassies, Ray Charles, zebra midges, chimarra larva, copper johns, scuds and sowbugs. Now on to the dry flies I need to replace.

I learned to fly fish on the Davidson. It's a great spot. Anything small and in red works all year round there. I hope you have better luck at the Letort than I did. Talk about some finicky trout! Enjoy!

I grew up fishing the streams of western PA. If you are looking for a few more places to fish, the Yellow Breeches Creek, Neshannock and Oil Creek also hold a ton of fish. If you ever get the chance to go back in the fall, the steelhead run in the Erie Tributaries is fantastic.

GSKayakFish, last trip to the Letort, the sulphers came off and I caught 5 that evening but only to 10". I also stepped in a spring hole and thought I was going cave diving! They don't warn you about what's hiding under all those weeds!
SUPFisher, I have fished the Breeches and Boiling Spring Run before they channelized it. Caught a ton of fish there but it is on the too popular side for me.
2 years ago, on Big Spring, I was turned onto 3 rainbows...2 were 20"+, the third 27"+(caught and measured the year before by someone else) all of which totally ignored what ever I had. Hoping for a date with them again this trip :)

jptrout, nice looking box. Gotta love the Coper Johns...great fly. Throw in some Parachute Adams for a dry, some Hares Ears, Muddlers, Wooly Buggers and of course the San Juan Worm that would be my perfect selection :thumbright: . Sounds like an awesome trip....tight lines.

BC, that's not my only box! There is another nymph box with pheasant tails, hare's ear's, RFSH nymphs, wooly worms and buggers, San Juan worms and on and on. then we come to several boxes of dry flies! ROFL...a walking fly shop but there aren't many bugs out there that I can't imitate!

Back from a swell trip. I have 3 albums on my FB page, Davidson River 2012, Southern PA 2012 and Kettle Creek 2012, viewable by all if anyone cares to see and hear all the details.

Best of the trip, 19" brown from Big Pine Creek.
