About Little Juniata River

One of Pennsylvania's premier wild brown trout rivers. The Tyrone-to-Spruce Creek corridor in Huntingdon County is legendary among East Coast anglers — wild fish average 12–16 inches with much larger fish common. Limestone-influenced freestone water with excellent Sulphur, March Brown, and Green Drake hatches.
