PA Flies??

[Fishin Bill]

I've gotten a chance to take a trip with my son and some Boy Scouts this weekend. They're going to a camp in northwest PA, and I'm told that French Creek runs through this private property. They'll let us fish, there won't be the normal opening weekend crowd, and it's supposed to be an good cold water stream with "native" trout. My question is, does anybody know what flies would be a must for this area? I've got a selection of small midges and BWO's... is there anything that's a "MUST HAVE"?

(Thanks in advance for any info, I'll have a great time fishing it, but it would be even better to be catching some!)

Hope this helps. Let us know how you did.

Thanks for the info, although that's a different French Creek: I grew up in Reading, PA and know it well (too many French Creeks!) But unfortunately I'll be up near Lake Erie, although a trip "back east" might be a good idea, too. Thanks, again, for your input!
