The tribs are on a slow rise, but have good flow and color at the moment. They will probably continue to rise and color will become more stained, but if they plateau out and begin to drop again conditions will be solid. You will find mostly dark fish with the occasional stray fresh one mixed in this late in our steelhead season. There is still potential for good fishing though. Remember, you will catch smolts while steelhead fishing in the spring. Handle them with care as they are extremely fragile!

Conditions are solid this morning and it’s a beautiful day, lots of sun with a high of 52. Flows are good and the tribs have a nice green tint to them. Beads, egg pattern flies, egg sacs, and jigs are all good options. Should be a solid day of fishing!

It’s starting to feel like spring with several days of over 50 degree highs forecasted for this week and plenty of sunshine. Pretty obscure for the end of February in NW PA! We finally had some decent rain to put some water in the tribs this weekend and provide solid fishing, but we’re now back down to low and clear flows. Mostly old fish with the odd fresh one dotted around.

Not much change since our last report, conditions are very low and clear. However, no chance of there being slush this morning, with a first light air temp of 50 degrees! It feels more like April than February. We are forecasted to get some rain tomorrow, but it doesn’t look to be anything significant. Fingers crossed for better conditions soon!

Mornings have been chilly, which has some slush on the tribs to start the day. It will burn off as soon as the sun gets high. Another day in the mid 40s with mostly bluebird skies, but the tribs are still very low and clear. The good news is fishing pressure is light, so if you find some fish you will likely have them to yourself.

The tribs are low and clear, and it looks like they’ll be staying that way until at least the weekend with not much rain in the forecast. The greatest numbers of fish are in the upper stretches of the creeks. Small beads, egg sacks, single eggs, and jigs are all good options.

Conditions have settled to pretty low and clear again, but fishing is still good. There are lots of fish around, not a ton of fresh fish, but focusing efforts on the upper reaches of the tribs is producing very good numbers. This warm weather has them active and biting!

Tribs are looking good today. Walnut is a bit on the clear side but with good flow and still a hint of that lovely green/gray tint. Fish are hungry after this thaw! Good luck.

Walnut has good flow, but is still pretty dirty. Expect it to clear up quite a bit into good conditions by the afternoon. Elk might need a little more time, but the upper stretches will be fishable soon!

Tribs are open but totally blown out still. There is lots of ice on the banks that’s going to continue to melt and prevent flows from rapidly dropping. Stay patient, we’ll be fishing before we know it!

Tribs are locked up or extremely slushy at the moment! We will continue to keep you updated on conditions when they open back up.
