Oh yeah I about forgot, since I'll be flying up there wet wading is what I would more than likely be doing, I go light most of the time anyway. Is the water cold enough I would need to bring my neo booties? Later,

Kirk, you will not be in the area of State College if you are going to be in Laceyville. The best bet for you in to head over to the PAFF website, join the forum and ask away. I'm not familiar with that area, but I'm sure some of the guys at PAFF live in or near there.
Lacyville is in Bradford County, PA about 2.5 hours from State College and not in the greatest trout fishing area of the state. If you have the time for long drives you would be better off following Route 6 west out of Lacyville into Tioga County. In an hour and a half you would be surrounded with more places to explore than you could fish in a lifetime. A second option is to drive an hour east towards Scranton and explore the Lackawanna River which has wild trout in abundance, some of them pretty big. Call A&G Outfitters in Dickson City. Their shop is right on the river and they can provide a wealth of info on fishing the Lackawanna.
If you are stuck in Lacyville there are two stocked streams about 5-10 minutes away, Tuscarora Creek & Sugar Creek. I have no idea how they fish at this time of the year but a phone call to the PA Fish & Boat Commission Waterways Conservation officer or the fisheries biologist for that region will get you an informative answer. I call them all the time and they WILL call you back. Check out the Fish Commission website for tons of information, maps and county fishing guides.
Finally, the Susquehanna River flows right through Lacyville. It is a warmwater paradise but I am pretty sure it is deep and unwadable in that neck of the woods. Bank fishing may be an option if that sort of thing appeals to you.
Have fun, good luck, buy a license and keep an eye on water temps.
Yea I thought I was going to be around the Penn State area but the information I'm getting is hit and miss that's why I'm still home
I don't mind a little drive at all, a couple hour drive is no biggie especially if it's for good fishing! Guys I sure do appreciate all the awesome info your giving me, I'm really looking forward to heading up that way. I looked and Laceyville has a population of less than 400 people, I though my home town was small with 2300! I like small towns and I have a good feeling if I would like to get anything I'll have to make a drive to get it so might as well take the flyrod
