Neshannock Creek
WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA
|
Just outside of Mercer, Cool Spring and Otter Creeks
converge to form Neshannock Creek, a large trout stream
which offers prime fishing in its upper reaches. The
stream is heavily stocked, and because many stretches
are far from road access, is not quickly fished. A delayed
harvest, artificial-lures-only area stretches 2.7 miles
downstream from the base of the Mill Dam in Volant. The water warms considerably in this area, however,
and access to the creek becomes more difficult.

The
creek provides good fishing
from early spring through June. When the trout fishing
slows in July and August, fish the lower stretches for
smallmouth bass and panfish. Good trout fishing returns
in the fall.
