We Went On a Dream Trip! Is This Pennsylvania’s Best Fly Fishing Stream?

Wild browns, perfect flows, and easy access.

May 16, 2025

We packed our gear, hit the road, and found ourselves on one of the best fly fishing streams in the state. Tobyhanna Creek is the real deal—wild trout, epic spring hatches, and miles of fishable water tucked in Pennsylvania’s Poconos. Want the full scoop? We wrote it all down—so your next trip can be just as dreamy.

The Best Baits for Wahoo Fishing

The Wahoo is a sharp-toothed predatory pelagic fish that has proven to be a favorite of serious anglers. These powerful fish thrive in temperate waters around the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico, as well as the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian oceans, where they can grow as long as eight feet.  Not only do anglers love this fish for the challenge it poses them, but they also favor it for its delicious, smoky taste!

Fly Fishing the Tobyhanna Creek Spring 2025

Man, fly fishing for trout on Tobyhanna Creek in Pennsylvania was a blast! I hit up State Game Lands 127 along Route 423, using my go-to nymphing and dropper hopper setup with a caddis and Frenchie, just like you mentioned. I caught a ton of rainbow, brown, and brook trout. Here’s the rundown of my trip. Tobyhanna Creek is this cool stream in the Pocono Mountains. The water looks like weak tea because of the hemlock trees around it, but the trout don’t care.
