Fly Fishing Little Pine Creek Pennsylvania
Little Pine Creek is a tributary of Pine Creek in North Central Pennsylvania. It’s formed by the confluence of Blockhouse Creek and Texas Creek. Blacks Creek, a small tributary of Blockhouse Creek, is also included. The stream has native brook trout, wild brown trout
and stocked browns and rainbows.
The stream is approximately fifteen miles long. It flows into Pine Creek in the very deepest part of the Pine Creek George, known locally as the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania. The confluence of Little Pine Creek and Pine Creek is located near the village of Waterville. Fly fishing Little Pine Creek is done mostly in the delayed
harvest section of the stream.
The delayed harvest section runs from two-hundred yards downstream from Otter Run and ends at Schoolhouse Hollow. It’s just over a mile long stretch of water but fly fishing is normally very good.
The “little” in Pine Creek’s name is to separate it from its big sister, Pine Creek; however, Little Pine isn’t a very small stream. It’s as wide as forty feet in places. The headwaters are mostly owned by a private fishing club. The public section extends from just upstream English Center to the Little Pine Creek dam.
It has a good population of wild browns and native brooks in addition to the stocked trout. The stream consist of runs, riffles and some large pools. Fly fishing Little Pine Creek can be greatly effected by rain and melting snow. You should always check the USGS water levels before making an extended trip to fish Little Pine.
