Fishing in Pocopson Creek?

[Jlloyd]

Hi everyone, I have recently moved to the Pocopson area of Chester County and my 9 year old son is just starting out. I heard that we can fish in the Pocopson Creek.. Can anyone point me to a public spot along the creek where this is permitted?
Many thanks!

Welcome. Take Brintons Bridge Road from 926 for about 1/4 of a mile and pull over and park where the stream turns towards the Brandywine. The landowner has actually installed a ladder which straddles the fence for fishermen to access his property. Fish from 926 down to the Brandywine. There will be trout there, but you should also catch a bunch of bluegills, fallfish, rock bass and God knows what else. Good place for the young guy to learn. Zoom in on the map and you'll see it.

Shoot me a note if you have any other questions - I live about 1 mile from the stream as well.

Very tough stream to FF, but bait fishing would be okay.
