Spring and Spruce Creeks, Pennsylvania Trout Sept, 2011

•• Western Pennsylvania's Allegheny Mountain Limestone trout streams are teeming with large and wary trout. The alkaline streams could only mean big trout with ample insects and food sources to sustain even large trout in the smaller streams. The anglers need patience and stealth to fool these trout!
•• Two days of fishing on private waters at Spring and Spruce Creeks, guide by Eric Stroup, Chris, and Bunkie who always worked on the technical aspects of our fly fishing to fine tune our skills and yes, we caught large stocked and wild trout, which were very healthy and leaped many times during the fight. All trout were revived and gently released.
•• Bob Paino caught a rainbow and a brown over 25 inches to be the trip winner! Great job, Bob!
•• Many thanks to Gerry Duerr and Ricky for the pictures, and thanks to Gerry Duerr for setting up this great trip.
