About Spring Creek

A cold limestone spring creek emerging below Bellefonte in Centre County — exceptionally stable flows and year-round fishability. Class A wild brown and rainbow trout, technical sight-fishing in clear water, and a Blue-Winged Olive hatch that runs nearly every month of the year. Among the best winter trout fisheries on the East Coast.
