About Big Spring Creek

Big Spring Creek is a stream flowing through Pennsylvania, United States. River fishing rewards anglers who learn to read current — fish hold in the seams between fast and slow water, behind rocks and submerged logs, and at the heads and tails of pools. At Big Spring Creek, working a lure or fly down-and-across the current usually outperforms casting straight upstream. Higher water concentrates fish; clear, low water makes them spookier.

Fishing Techniques

  • For Brook trout

    Fish upstream, casting into pools and runs, allowing your bait or lure to drift naturally with the current for best results.

  • For Rainbow trout

    Vary your retrieve speed when using spinners to find what triggers a strike; sometimes a slow, steady retrieve works best, while other times a faster, erratic retrieve is more effective.

  • For Brown trout

    When fishing streams, focus on seams and current breaks, where trout hold to ambush prey.
