Clearfield, Elk, Jefferson Trout Fishing - 3/24/2008 7:41:35 AM

Status: offline 		Has anyone fished north of Brockway on Little Toby, Boggy or or Brandy Camp?  I'm less concerned with the quantity of fish and more concered with the quantity of fishermen and stream accessibility & feel.  Or would I be better served to continue north above St Marys?  I'm based in DuBois.  Any help is greatly appreciated.  I have done the Benezette area in the past as well as Allens Mills.

Any good info on the tri county area would be great.  The Benezette streams are a zoo the first day of trout.

I've hit driftwood close to where 555 and 120 meet.  It is pretty large there and have gotten a few.  Were you farther north?  Thanks.

If you're looking for a good place to just catch some fish, don't forget that Sandy Lick right in town ( DuBois) has an artifical lures only project on it and is stocked 3x a year with some pretty nice fish. Brookville's project on North Fork Red bank is fly fishing only, but it has NO harvest now so there should be a number of fish in there too.

I just saw the delayed harvest outside DuBois.  Can't believe I never noticed that before.  I assume access is over behind the mall somewhere by the map?

So, it's ok to spot burn on the internet if it's a stream that isn't near where you live, Or one that you don't fish all that often, right?

Just checking.

I see this as a general description of where to fish because this is big water (150" across in some places) and you'd be hard press fishing the actual intersection because it's about 250 yards from the water (be 1 he!! of a cast).  plus there is something like 30 miles of upstream. it like saying fish at ohiopyle or kinzue outflow or some FFO section. also I fish this creek often, probably the most often of the trout streams I fish besides neshanock. so don't get all high and mighty you found me out thing going. if you want I’ll even take you out and show you some hole to fish.

Actually, that's why I didn't bother asking for specifics from anyone.  Just looking for a general place to try, and I'll take my lumps finding the specifics. 

Hey everyone, go to Allens Mills and fish.  I loaded up 2 years ago (I really did).......but it is a bitch to fish.  You will sweat and have your fortitude tested.

Thats a pretty big spot ( and very well known) to worry about burning....  Now mosquito creek or Gifford... don't waste your time... AMD/ Acid Rain...     Sandy Lick DHALO, access behind Mall and along walkway.

have you ever tried that creek up by that building? you can't miss it it's near some trees. fish 20.5 yards upstrem of the smaller of the three bushes. don't forget your ghilli suit ,some body might see you.

Status: offline 		giffords clean,but, i think mosquito has some acid drainage in it. it may be below the sportsmans club. don't know for certain never fished it, only live 10 miles from there, but remember reading something about them wanting to clean up the stream, this was when roy savel ran the place.

Looks like you are going to find a crowd.
More look than reply and simple google search will now even get richer in information.

I am heading up to Benezette with my son and nephew.  Looking for a decent place to fish.  Kids are teenagers so we can hike a bit if we need to.  I know Medix Run is crazy 1st day.  Can anyone point me to a place not to far from Benezette where the crowds aren't to bad and the stream is wider than 10 feet.  Please respond to ukntcme@gmail.com  thanks for any help.  Aslo where can you buy bait up there?

Wally
