Making a voyage from erie to indiana, pa this wednesday and was thinking of hitting a stream or two along the way. Does anyone have any recommendations? I was looking at the DHALO section of oil creek or maybe the fly fishing only c&r on little sandy. I know some members fish the oil regularly but havent heard much about the little sandy. What sort of flies work well this early in the spring? Any info would be appreciated.

might see black or brown stones , probably brown now though , they were both just stocked so anything to get their attention will work , nothing special , little sandy is a small stream that gets crowded with a little bit of pressure , oil on the other had is alot more friendly to pressure

Yeah I saw that both had been stocked, thats why I thought I might have a chance into fooling something into biting. I have only really fly fished for steelhead mostly so I am by no means an expert. Maybe just some basic nymph and streamer patterns will do.

Fished oil at petro. center today, thought we would do ok with the sunshine peeking through and temps near 50 but didnt even get a hit.

Well thats not very reassuring.

Piney Creek DHALO was a bust today



Heard they only stocked 600 on March 21st

behrend u basically fish for trout the same way with the same flys , the fish are just usually smaller thats all

PSU fish let me fill ya in on some rough news...they didnt even stock 600 i helped them stock Piney on the 21st and it was only 300 fish, 200 of which going into a 200 yard stretch. fished it that week and did ok but have had trouble finding many fish since then

With the rain we've had here I'd venture to say that both Oil and Little Sandy are blown out and may stay that way for a few days.
