Pine Creek-Allegheny County

Well, Trout season is just around the corner and I'm going crazy!!!...Lets just say that I am just about crazy enough to fish in the kiddies trout pond at the Outdoors ExpoMart coming this weekend!!! If you see them asking a fat guy to ship it out then it will more than likely be me!!! Anyways, do any of you know much about Pine Creek around Allison Park?? I just moved to that area and I hear the creek is a nice one!! I also hear that it runs pretty long and you have to know the holes to fish it...The only good story I got so far is about a section behind Giant Eagle where a few nice ones are pulled each year...Does anyone know anything else about this creek? Any information would be greatly appreciated whether it be Pine Creek or just fishing around that area!!

I can see giant eagle from my backyard. I grew very acoustumed to fishing this section of pine creek. There are a few really nice holes that produce a ton of fish every year. The glenshaw glass area and the post office bends are also great spots. There are a few other holes, but the directions miht be a little hard to explain.

If you start out just below the North park lake spillway, you will catch fish.  There are trout, bass and even the occasional musky there.  If you start at the source of the creek, you can't really go wrong. 

when i was there last year after the spill way it was not deep at all. i actually caught sum HUGE carp on hot dogs an i caught a few trout as well, again on hotdogs.  amazing huh?

not familiar with that stream personally. But there plenty of waters still open in march to fish for trout. check the pafbc website. I know there were 3 lakes in beaver county just stocked. I'm more of a stream fisherman, but you can get good numbers of fish with little pressure from other anglers. I usually get close to 75-100 fish in that time frame. Fishing usually a max of ten days in March. Its worth going out and wetting a line. These are lakes in the exstended season.

 D-nymph, when i was very young and extremely stupid, me and my friends used to swim through that drainage pipe. Scariest thing about it was when the carp at the bottom would get spooked and try to swim past you while you were in there. I look back and think what the hell were we thinking? Soo many crazy memorys from that stretch of stream.

 
HA!  Yea, what the hell were you thinking!
 
That pipe when the water is up a bit can be full of sheepshead, bluegills and carp.

Ya quite a few times. The air pocket inside is just big enough that you can keep most of your head out of the water while you were goin thru. That was probably 8 years ago when we did that. We also went rafting after a heavy storm from giant eagle all the way to etna. Took about 4 hours. We even brought our fishing gear, but we capsized when we went over the little waterfall at glenshaw glass. I lost all of my gear including one of my rods. Pretty mad about that. We were in one of those tiny, blow up, two person rafts with plastic paddles haha. Another fun pastime was brick diving at the barges in sharpsburgh. Thinking back on all this actually scares the crap outa me haha
