Spring Creek Trout Unlimited |
|
|
We have a very active chapter of Trout Unlimited. The title is a little misleading since we have literally hundreds of miles of blue ribbon trout streams in our area and many are not connected to Spring Creek at all. However, Spring Creek is, by far, my favorite stream with Penns Creek a close second. There are plenty of "on-your-knees-chucking-under-rhododenrdon" streams around here, too. Let me know if you want some directions! |
