Middle Branch Chillisquaque Creek

Middle Branch Chillisquaque 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 Middle Branch Chillisquaque 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.
