Whether you prefer fly fishing or spin fishing, Central Pennsylvania has many areas you can visit to try your hand at big catches. You can find trout in various streams, creeks, lakes and rivers. With your Pennsylvania fishing license, you can go almost anywhere.
Here is a guide to trout fishing near Bellefonte and State College, Pennsylvania.
Before you can go trout fishing in Pennsylvania, you must first have a regular fishing license and a trout permit if you are over 16 years of age. Additionally, some areas have specific regulations regarding the trout you can catch. For instance, some streams may only allow catch-and-release, while others let you take the fish you acquire home.
The differences also extend to the type of trout in each water. Many places, like Penns Creek, have brown and rainbow trout. Some are wild, while others are stocked from the state's fish hatchery. Catching a wild trout can be more of a challenge since they tend to be skittish.
