Fly Fishing Tea Creek Pennsylvania
Tea Creek is a gem of a small, limestone, spring creek. Located in central Pennsylvania, Tea Creek is unlike most any other limestone stream. It consist mostly of pocket water, not the slowly, meandering meadow waters of most spring creeks. It flows from a large spring located beneath Route 322. Its water flows at 56 degrees all year long. Tea Creek joins Honey Creek and Kishacoquillas Creek in the little town of Reedsville.
This stream is only 15 to 20 feet in width but its brown trout make up for anything lacking about stream size. It has plenty of large, wild beautiful brown trout. Tea Creek falls at a very steep decline, and as I just said, something that is very different from most any other
spring creeks. It consist of steep plunges, short pools and short riffles that flow fast. Fly fishing Tea Creek is made much easier than it could be by the fast water. It helps a bunch when you are trying to fool its wild trout. They only get a short glimpse of your fly. It flows into a millpond in town just above its confluence with Honey and Kishacoquillas Creeks and that in effect, slows the flow to a crawl, destroying the real value of the stream. The dam should be removed.
This is a tight stream to cast in. Tea Creek has little open areas and the cast must be placed accurate and your must stay well hidden. We have not ever seen anyone fishing it but I’m sure others do. It’s one of our favorite little limestone spring creeks. I hope one day, the people who can effect decisions regarding the property around this little stream, wake up and realize what they have. There have been two occasions where many trout were destroyed due to lack of care and concern. Both times the trout have responded and the population returned to normal. That may not happen on the next horrible accident created by careless people.
