Octoraro Creek


West Branch Octoraro Creek
Fished the West Branch of the Octoraro in Lancaster County on Sunday.  Parts of the creek were recently stocked in April.  I had to search for the fish a bit but eventually honed in on a bunch of brown trout stacked up under the shadows of a bridge.

The water was running low and clear so I approached the fish carefully, using a zebra midge dropped off of a  small midge dry. The brown featured here was one of several caught in a short span of time.

It's about an hour ride from the Philadelphia area but it makes for a nice day, surrounded by horse farms, meadows and an occasional Amish horse & buggy.
