I fish the West Branch of the Perk and the Perk alot. Favorite places are the bride on Lesher's Mill Rd off of Palm Hill Rd, the little park on Tollgate Road, the Bridge at Water St and Peevy Rd, a hole about 60 yards down from the Peevy Rd bridge, The bridge at Water St and Fruitville Rd ( by the water plant), and the area by Church Road and Water St and Church Rd and Goshenhoppen Church Rd. If you're out that way you can also try Forgedale Creek along Forgedale Rd off of old Rt 100 in Barto or head down to Greenlane and hit Swamp Creek along Swamp Creek Road or Unami Creek. Swamp and Unami offer lots of rock hopping. The upper end of the West Branch of the Perf off of Lesher's mill gets stocked every year at the bridge, but there are plenty of holdovers farther up. I normaly park at the park on Tollgate and wade down through to Leshers then walk back up to the truck. There are some really big holes back in from Tollgate and plenty of riffs up from Lesher's Mill. I rarely see more than four or five people fishing there and most are bank fishers drowning worms at the bridges. Forgedale is a problem due to minimal parking and maximum posting, but if you ask you'll probably get the okay to fish for some fun wild ones. If you see a Chevy S-10 blazer with climbing, fishing, and medical stickers, it's probably me. And, yes, there's always a bottle of highbrow Scotch or Irish Whiskey there for medicinal purposes. Never know when you might get a paper cut or some such injury.
