Millstone Creek - Clarion Trib

[dreamsofstreams]

Gonna be in Clarington, PA this holiday weekend. I was scoping out Millstone creek, Millstone EB, and Millstone WB as probably the closest tribs to me. Anybody know if this stream system can support trout through the summer? I don't have time to hike the wild trout waters in the ANF, just looking for my best option for the couple hours I'll have Sat. morning.

This used to be a decent stream for natives, but has gone downhill quick. Is very acid - I helped stock it once and watched the fish jumping out of the water as they fled for the river in April.

Very pretty stream, but I wouldn't expect much...

I've fished the lower end of it a few times, while up that way fishing the clarion. Found a few fish rising in the larger pools.
Caught the largest tiger trout I've ever seen there on a beetle a few years ago. It was about 15 inches, very brightly colored, and looked for all the world like a holdover.
