Brookies in PA

Looking for a stream that might hold "native Brook Trout" in Western PA. Catch and release is not problem, I do not keep fish anyway. I'm not allergic to walking and find the woods more comforting than a parking lot. Any info will be welcome.

    Anywhere in the national forest reigon near cooksburg, Tionesta etc..
    Go to the Pa fish commision site and do a little reaearch, they have plenty of info on where to target native brookies.

    If you're not allergic to research...You're probably not going to have a lot of guys giving you info on this subject.

    The moment of truth. Where all other things unconsciously melt away from our minds the instant a fish takes our fly. We stand there on the water with wide eyes, caught in a battle stance with an idea of confidence and hope

    I'm gonna send you a pm also.  I'm not giving up any secrets though! lol. 
     
    For everyone else, as said already research and exploration can go a long way.  Reference "the lists" hit a handful of streams in a day, hike a little, and you just might be rewarded.

    I was told that Indian Creek that runs along Rt 31 near 711 N holds native brookies. This is down the road from Hidden Valley towards Acme. I never got a chance to check it out, but driving by, it does appear to hold natives. If you do go , Good Luck!
