Re: {Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: Fishing close to I 81 in PA

Here are a bunch of commonly known streams along 3 routes:

70w to 81n has Beaver Creek in Md. Falling Springs, Big Springs, and Letort are not to far off 81. Be sure to hit the 901 Pub (1639 Sunbury Road, Pottsville, PA 17901) on your way up. Go with the broasted chicken. And a pint of draft beer is cheaper than a club soda.

270 to 15n you will pass Big Hunting Creek (I mention this again as it is just off 15 and it was not only feathered on channel 9 news in the 1994 with Gov. William Donald Schaffer fishing glo bugs, it was also featured on Fly Fishing America in 1994 with a special feature on the Joe Brooks memorial and Brotherhood of The Jungle Cock). You will also be near the Yellow Breeches.

If you do 87 north to 15 you will pass the Gunpowder.

Hit up these fly shops and guides for current information:

Falling Springs

I grew up close to Hamilton southeast of Syracuse, NY.  If you go another 40 miles north on 81, you can fish the Salmon River off of Lake Ontario in Pulaski, NY.  

During the winter month's it's some of the best Steelhead fishing on the east coast if you dress for the weather.  They fish Steelhead all winter, but you should check the report and water level before wasting a day in the freezing cold.  http://whitakers.com/cgi-bin/htmlos.cgi/0010989.1.615035729552160397/report.html .  Steelhead fishing is hit or miss.  You also would have a 6 or 6.5 hour drive back down here to DC area.
