I haven't fished the Toby a ton, I agree there isn't a lot happening with hatches most of the time, but there are some to fish. Plus the stocked fish are underwhelming, but it may be worth a trip or two since you live close by the stream.
Below is a detailed list of hatches for the Toby for what it's worth. Plus be sure to read the fishing tips for the Toby in the link below.
Hope it helps >
The hatches are not huge or prolific on
Tobyhanna like they are in most of
Pennsylvania's Spring Creeks, but they do
have a fairly large diversity of aquatic
insects. When something does hatch, you
may find the trout keying in on the insects.
The first insects to hatch are the Little
Winter Stoneflies. Little Browns and Little
Blacks are common in the pocket water
sections of the stream. Blue-winged Olives
start hatching in late March and will hatch
off and on until October. There are several
species but none of them are huge
hatches.
Blue Quills normally start hatching near the
end of March. They are usually around for
about a month. In April and early May, you
may find a few March Browns in the faster
sections of water.
Caddisflies are present, but not real
abundant. The LIttle Black Caddis start
hatching in mid April and hatch for about
three weeks.
By May, Green Sedges make their
appearance. These caddisflies can hatch
for as long as three months but never in
any large quantities.
Cinnamon Caddis are the most common
caddisflies. They are more plentiful on the
lower section of the stream. There is also
some Little Brown Caddis that hatch in the
slower sections of the water.
There is a Hendrickson hatch that occurs in
late April and early May but again, it usually
isn't prolific. You can catch trout eating the
emergers and the spinners late in the day
near dark. Slate Drakes are another
common mayfly but they never hatch in any
large quantities. They do hatch off and on
from June until near October. There are a
few Light Cahills that hatch in June but in a
very sparse manner.
Sculpin, baitfish and crayfish are present in
the creek and provide food for the trout.
Streamers that imitate these work well at
times. Terrestrial insects, mainly beetles,
grasshoppers and ants provide part of the
food for the trout. Imitations of them work
from late June until near the end of
September.
