About Penns Creek

Pennsylvania's most famous limestone trout stream. The Coburn-to-Ingleby catch-and-release section is the crown jewel of Centre County, and the late-May Green Drake hatch draws anglers from across the country. Class A wild brown and rainbow trout, prolific Sulphurs and Tricos, and the kind of cold limestone water that fishes hard from April into October.
