Do you all have a favorite stream? Is it your favorite because the fishing is the best? The memories are the best? It's a unique location to fish? It's your well-kept secret spot?
There is always a lot of talk on here about the famous creeks and rivers of PA but are those spots anyone's favorite to fish? For me, I would rather be in the middle of nowhere, a few miles away from the nearest human or road.
One of my favorite streams is a tannic, fast-moving stream that my family has fished for four generations. I can't help but feel connected to my grandfather and great-grandfather as I pick out a fish from a tiny break in the rapidly flowing water that every other angler would have strolled by. The fish are fickle and few and the water temperature shoots up to the high 70s during the summer. Somehow, wild browns and a handful of brook trout hang on year after year. Someday soon the brookies will disappear and maybe if there are a handful of bad summers, the browns with them. Even if in 20 years, this stream is no longer stocked and the wild trout disappear, I will still make the pilgrimage every year to fish it for the sake of continuing the tradition and reliving the memories.
How about you all?
