Dear Rob,

A couple more questions for you. Where are you planning on staying, camping, a hotel, do you want to rent a cabin, etc? If you give us some ideas there we can give you some places to check out for accomodations.

Victoria Day is in May isn't it? That should be prime time for trout fishing. I'd suggest based on my personal preferences that you think about the area around State College, PA - Lock Haven, PA, - Williamsport, PA.

In that North Central region of the State there are a number of quality waters to sample. For example you have Spring Creek, Penns Creek, Big Fishing Creek, Pine Creek, Lycoming Creek, and Loyalsock Creek. Those streams range from 30 to 40 feet wide - Spring and Big Fishing Creek, to well over 100 feet wide - Pine Creek and the Loyalsock. Many of those streams have smaller tributaries that have wild brown trout and native brook trout populations. There is a lot of State owned land that is open to public in that area for you to explore.

There are many campgrounds in State Parks as well as private campgrounds throughout the area. There are hotels and motels too, and rental cabins but you need to make plans early to get a cabin as that is prime fishing and turkey hunting season and the cabins fill up quickly.

If you were coming two or three weeks later you could join the FAOL Fish-in being held in the Pine Creek Valley the weekend of June 9th and 10th.

As you get closer to finalizing plans get back to us and we will do our best to make your trip worthwhile.

Best Wishes,
Avalon
