Trout streams or lakes in allegheny county

good trout fishing in the county?  Depends on your definition of good.  If you mean enough to get you by until you get to a good stream then you've got deer, pine, and bull creeks go up the allegheny and Montour on the other end of town.  I wouldn't class any of them as good, though The upper reaches of both pine and deer have some nice water.
 
North park lake has trout as do a few others if you like lake fishing.
 
Otherwise you've got the laurel highlands or the Slippery Rock area.  Both will be about an hour and a half drive for you and both have more than a couple streams work fishing.

Where did you move from?

Thanks,
Rick

the allegheny county dtream mentioned do have fish but are not what i would call  a quality experience.  but hey its's fishing and it will keep you going until you get to 'better' places.  the closest streams are the slippery rock and neshanock creeks.  i personally prefer neshanock over slippery rock.  then you can head east to the laurel highlands, as was suggested.  there you have indian cr, laurel hill, loyalhanna, meadow run and the yough.  these are my favs to go to although there are lots more in that area you can try.
 
btw where did you move from?

I am pretty familiar with the streams of northern Allegheny Co.; Pine, Deer, and Bull Creeks.  None of them are anything special, they are all just your typical in-fertile stocked streams.  Pine and Deer both have a little more fishable water than Bull.  They all can get very crowded during the season and even in their DH sections can be bad after the spring stockings. 
 
If you are in Greentree you would probably be farther ahead to check out the streams in fayette and Westmoreland counties.  They may be a little farther for you but, the fishing is generally much better in that area in my experiences.

 There are alot of very good streams in Westmoreland County. Yough River and Loyalhanna creek are top 2 in this County. Loyalhanna had delayed harvest and regular stream. Yough you are allowed to keep 3 trout daily > if you want until regular trout season comes back in April, then 5 till Sept.1 or around that date.

From Greentree you could hit a number of places in Washington county prety easily from rt.79.
 
Chartiers creek is not bad for bass either. There are a bunch of places from beginning to end for them, and they are a ball to catch. Not many realy huge ones, but when you find a good pocket of them you can catch them till your arm gets tired.

There's always Twin Lakes in Westmoreland County which was supposedly stocked last week....if it is not already ice after this crap weather!!!!

Sorry for the late reply.  Thanksgiving break.  I appreciate all the spots.  I'm not really into the stocked trout scene.  No offense if you are.  But stocked fish will hit on anything.  Back home (Ebensburg)  I would drive to the little juniata and spring creek to fish for browns.  Nothing like catching a native fish.  Just wandering I've heard about the trophy trout waters on the yough. Now r we talking above the falls or after.  I work in monroeville so I know it wouldnt be that far from there.  I think.  Just used to the streams back home.  Thanks guys.

bigcountryhuntr - I'm from Ebensburg and live near Monroeville now (Forrest Hills) - shoot me a PM, maybe we can hook up.

Yeah...those would be streambred brown trout. No natives in PA as mentioned Brook (char) only, there are streams that support spawning and have streambred rainbow and brown trout.

Linden Creek in Washington county is closer than Fayette or Westmoreland and the trout fishing is pretty good. also can fish canonsburg lake and below the spillway at canonsburg lake. It's all only 20 minutes from greentree.

I would stay away from canonsburg AT ALL COSTS !
probably one of the worst fishing opportunities in SWPA

Montour Run in the Robinson/Moon area is a great place to go. The fishing starts near where the Costco is in conjunction with Montour Run Road and continues down stream a few miles to Ewing Road near the sportsman's club. I caught a couple fish under the Beaver Grade Road bridge a month ago. The Montour Trail runs parallel to the creek and offers great access to many holes. This is an unbelievable place to fish in spring, but there should be a few fish left over now.

montour run is an URBAN fishery for all stockers
it is not anything special and you will be fishing for pelletheads

i lived under a mile from Cannonsburg lake most of my life
it is where I spent a lot of my time fishing while growing up
riding my bike/walking there was first thing on my mind after school and in the summers
 
but this June, I vowed never to fish there again
the trash is unbearable
the poor water quality is such that even the carp population is on the downslope
 
the silting problem is out of control due to the runoff and construction above the lake
the spillway is in such disrepair, it would not surprise me to see it break any day...
there is even an insane push to "save the lake"
 
i think the dam should be destroyed
(originaly built by Alcoa)
restructure the stream (little chartiers) as a flowing body of water
artifical rapids, trees, structure
it could then be used by *gasp* kyakers and fishermen alike
i know there is another waterway in the area that recently did this
 
but, as it stands now...
it truely is the blackeye of Washington county fisheries
 

The smell of the water at Canonsburg Dam in the summer is enough to keep me away.
