Trout Streams and Hatches of Pennsylvania, 3rd Ed.

A Complete Fly-Fishing Guide to 140 Streams

Charles R. Meck

Pennsylvania is famous for its well-protected and uncrowded trout streams, and this guide has established itself as the trusted, most complete resource for resident and visiting anglers.

Many of the 10,000 miles of classified trout water in the state are easily accessible from major population centers. But this massive work also includes smaller, "secret" streams in remote regions. This third edition is completely updated and expanded.

New features include:

  • 14 new streams in all parts of the state

  • Recommended patterns to match the hatch keyed to each stream

  • Extensive hatch charts in a separate appendix for easy reference

  • Expanded list of recipes for classic and local fly patterns

  • 18 new detailed maps

  • New, quick-reference headings for each stream-how to get there, what to bring, regulations, and rating
  • "Charles Meck has written the book on Pennsylvania fly-fishing rivers and their hatches . . . the bible on the Keystone state for fly-fishers everywhere."
    —John Randolph, Fly Fisherman

    "Comprehensive and highly informative."
    —American Angler
