November/December - Near Pittsburgh

[moon306]

Besides Laurel Hill creek near Laurel Hill State Park in Somerset, nothing gets stocked near me outside of Pittsburgh. Anyone have fall/winter luck nearby?

You could always try the Yough anywhere from the dam down to Ohiopyle.

Lots of options over fall stocked trout beside LHC and the Yough...
Deer Creek
Pine Creek
Buffalo Creek
Meadow Run
Dunbar Creek
Neshanock Creek

Are they still stocking Turtle Creek?

 

[Chaz]

I didn't see either Turtle or Buffalo creeks on the fall stocking list,, but I don't know the countiesout there well.

Buffalo Creek is in Armstrong County and is on the list. Turtle Creek is not.

I fished Dunbar a day each week in Oct for 2 to 3 hours. First week they stocked and caught one, next 2 weeks only got 1 hit and no hits last week. Thursday caught 2, brown and brook.
I use nymphs primarily.
Water is low and clear
Don't understand where all the fish went-critters?
Talked to a guy who fished Laurel Hill and said he did well there

For whatever reason, Dunbar trout don't stick around.. (Of course, poaching with blasting caps may have something to do with it too.)
