Spring Creek

CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA

Spring Creek is a limestone spring creek running through Bellefonte, PA in Centre County. Spring Creek boasts large browns and great hatches. The Fish & Boat Commission has conducted surveys and shown that the creek is one of the most densely populated wild brown trout streams in Pennsylvania. Excellent fishing can be found from Houserville through to Bellefonte. Look for exceptional fishing at Benners Spring.

Spring Creek is a smaller stream--about 15 feet in width on average. Access is easy along roads that run parallel to the stream. There are, however, many postings against trespassing. Also, be ready for no-kill regulations that apply to the full length of the fishery.

A fly-fishing only section called "Fisherman's Paradise" is a well-known section of this stream. It runs for one mile with parking at the lower boundary of Spring Creek Fish Culture station. Wading is forbidden in this famous stretch of water.
