A winding creek flows through a wooded area near a residential neighborhood, with trees lining both banks and their reflections on the water beneath a partly sunny late-afternoon sky.

Beaver Creek, PA

Daylight saving time, some light left, allowing for an evening walk along the creek near the soccer field where my son practices, instead of doing grocery shopping😊
Trout were rising, but the creek is closed to fishing😉

A small creek winds through the woodland on a cloudy day. Bare trees and the overcast sky reflect on the water, tinted with green hues.

Mostly cloudy today, but pleasantly warm, a great day to be outside 😊
Turns out my “secret” spot wasn’t very secret after all 😅

It’s a sunny winter day and the creek runs through the woods. A riffle in the back is feeding a deep stream pool in the foreground.

During the off-season, I spend more time doing experiments in my lab instead of fishing at the creek 🤔
Though sometimes, lab experiments feel a bit like fishing too 😏

A small creek in the woods flows through a tunnel beneath a moss-covered stone arch bridge. Patches of snow remain above the bridge, large trees stand along the left bank, and both banks have old stone walls.

East Branch Indian Creek, PA

This is one of those small creeks only local kids would fish 🤔
Never actually fished it myself, but I spotted several nice spots 😉
Next time I come back, I will definitely fish😊

A little cascade on the western edge of Philadelphia 😊
Like East Branch, not a designated trout stream, you may only find small fish, but both branches are open to fishing year-round 😉

A creek winds through the winter woods on a warm, sunny day. The sky is a clear blue, and the swift, glinting current bends around a large boulder, feeding the pool in the foreground. Submerged rocks are visible under the clear water.

The off-season on my local trout waters is only a month and a half, but it still feels long, especially on a day like today 🤔
At least a few nice creeks not so far from my home stay open year-round😊

A quiet river at sunset, glowing under the evening sky. Along the distant bank, hills are lined with bare trees illuminated by the golden light of the setting sun. The water near the far bank has been melted, reflecting the trees. Near the closer bank, the river still remains frozen.

A narrow creek winds through the woods, its swift current rushing against a large boulder jutting from the left bank. The water goes around the boulder, feeding a stream pool behind. Along the hilly banks, bare winter trees stand under the cloudy sky.

A tributary of the Schuylkill River, PA

At last, the ice and snow have melted, and the fish were active today 😊
We are expecting snow again tomorrow, but it’s unlikely the creeks will freeze over 😉

During February and March, I need to drive a bit farther than usual to fish creeks that are open year round, typically more than 30 minutes instead of my usual 10-minute drive 🙃

The PA extended trout season is over. Many of my favorite local creeks are closed until the trout opening day on April 4th.
But I can still legally fish this creek, as long as it’s not frozen 🤔

A small creek flows by the cliffs that are snow-covered but starting to melt, so exposed rocks and snow create a striking contrast in the late afternoon sun. The creek is still frozen but decorated with half-melted snow mixed with soil colors.

They won’t be fishable before the PA extended trout season ends 🤔

The waterfall is frozen except for the middle, where plunging water is still visible. The pool below is also frozen, with only the center open where the water crashes down. It’s a partly sunny late afternoon in the woods.

#WaterfallWednesday

Ithan Creek, PA

Seems to be the only spot where I can fish in this area🤔
A tenkara rod should work well😊
Not sure how I would land the fish without dragging them across the ice, which harms them…unless they are fish I want to keep🤔

A frozen creek flows through a snow-covered winter valley in the late afternoon. At the creek’s center, a swift current prevents the cold water from freezing, allowing water to wind through the snow.

This is actually a river, it is quite large, though. News reports said that some people were skating and even playing ice hockey, though they were strongly advised not to do so.

People have been spotted skating and playing ice hockey on the Schuylkill River…clearly not a good idea 😞
I did learn, though, that one of the buildings on Boathouse Row was originally used to rescue people who fell through the ice🙄

A broad creek flows between wooded areas under a clear blue sky. Thick ice and snow cover most of its surface, while the center remains capped with thinner, glassy ice that lets the dark water show through.

A creek flows through the snow-covered valley in the winter woods. Its rocky terrain is hidden beneath the snow, and the surface is frozen everywhere except in the middle, where the current flows faster.

But I will still walk along the creek 😊
