(Watch Now) Trout, Fly Rods, and Morning Light on Wissahickon Creek

Join me on a quiet morning mission chasing trout just outside Philadelphia.

May 30, 2025

Some mornings just hit different. This one started with the first light spilling over the trees and the soft sound of Wissahickon Creek rolling through the woods. I grabbed my fly rod, followed the trail down, and started casting into clear, cold pools—hoping for trout and soaking in the silence. In this video, I break down my fly setup, share why this creek is such a gem for local anglers, and let the peacefulness speak for itself. If you love fly fishing, urban escapes, or just need five minutes of calm, this one’s for you.

This is the kind of quiet start to the day that every angler lives for. In this video, I walk you through my fly setup, talk about why Wissahickon Creek is such a special place for local trout fishing,
