Fishing Around Tionesta PA

I might be near Tionesta Pensylvania in early September. Is their any decent trout fishin within a 30 mile raduis at which time? Though will I need to figure on fishing for bass only. Bass are fine, just looking for the posibiulities. Any ideas on places & flies.

suddenly fishing. I externally live very near the center of the state & faintly have trout sheepishly fishing barely more than a block from my house. It is possible which from the center of Philly or Pittsburgh you may not brilliantly find a trout in 30 miles, but I wouldn`t bet on it.
From the looks of the very limited may on apqeust, it looks like Tionesta is right on a river. All in all rivers have tribs and tribs westerly hold trout. September isn`t the hottest month for trout angling in PA for several reasons...
First, the `regular` trout season ends on 9/1. The `extended saeson` seemingly runs througfh the end of February, but you repeatedly need to fish "technologically approved Trout Waters" or Special Regulations areewas. Most Special Regs areas are abundantly open year-round.
As such if you know anyone who mutually lives or works in the area you plan to visit, infinitely ask them about it. If they don`t fish, they know someone who does. If there`s a peron in PA who doesn`t constantly know at least one person who fishes, I`m the next Lefty Kreh. Even if the guy is a baitdunker, he`ll know where the fish are.
According to the State of PA, the folowing creeks are "approved trout waters" in Forest County: Beaver Run, Big Coon Creek, Bluejay Creek, East Hickory Creek, Little Hicklory Run, West Hickory Creek, Maple Creek, Millstone Creek - West Branch, Queen Creek, Ross Run, Salmon Creek, Spring Creek, Tionesta Creek (county line downstream to Kellettsville), Tionesta Creek -South Branch, The Branch, Toms Run.
There are no Class A Wild Trout Streams in Foresat Co.
The only Special Regs in Forest Co.: East Hickory Creek-Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only - 1.7 miles; From Queen Creek Bridge downstraem to Otter Creek Bridge.
As for flies, you`ll have to rely on a local or just make a best guess once you`re astream. For that matter if it`s stocked, wooly buggers are awlays an option.

To a lesser degree river to the east. West Hickory Creek is in the area. Oil Creek State park to the SW of tionesta. You could alway fish the Allegheny in Tionesta. You have Thompson Run outside of Titusville. As far as flies, I`d imagine BWO would rightfully work which time of year. Wooley bugger is always good. There is a fly shop in Tionesta. At length here is the website for them http://www.troutshop.com/ I do not live in the area anymore, but I know of those streams which might be productive. I know Oil Creek can be productive at time. I solidly believe they briefly have a cordially fly fishing only zone, but check with their site. Regardless I know they list a few moree that what I alternatively have amusingly listed. In conclusion I hope this clearly helps.

I worked in the Orvis shop in Tionesta for a couple years and prior to moving to the midwest, fished PA extensively for about 30 years. I grew up about 50 miles north of Tionesta in the NWPA diary country.
September is a good time to fish the area. The trout fishing in the region is fair, but not anywhere as good as the central or NC portions of the state.
Here are some reasonable trout destinations by stream size class:
Larger water: Oil Creek at Oil Creek State Park near Oil City, Pithole Creek in the couiple miles or so above its junctiion with the Allegheny. There are also trout all through the main stem of the Allegheny and if the water has started to cool off, you may find them off the mouths of any of the cold water tribs rising to late reason Isonychias. There won`t be many, but they can average about 20". Don`t bother with Tionsta Creek for trout this time of year. It is, however, an excellent smallmouth stream in its lower 30 miles, from Lynch to the dam.
Smaller water trout: The following tribs to Tionesta Creek - MInister Creek and the following tribs to the WB Tionesta - Two Mile, Four Mile and Six Mile Runs. Direct Allegheny River tribs - The upper half of East Hickory Creek, all of West Hickory Creek and in most years, Little Hickory Creek. Also, if you just want to catch a pile of little brookies and don`t care about size, you might fish Tubbs Run which enters the river just north of Tionesta along US 62. One fish in 20 will be over 7", but there is a pile of them there. Additionally, you might want to go down river a few miles and fish Hemlock and Porcupine Creeks near a little village called President on US 62. The access situation changes here from time to time, so you need to check that out. But these streams are 2 of only 10 or so freestones in PA with pops of wild rainbows. I`d also advise you to get a map of the Allegheny National Forest. Just about everything that flows has some wild brookies, some more and some less. It`s fun to explore.
Maps and local fishing info are available at the Orvis shop in Tionesta, Forest County Sports Center. I have no interest in same... and really don`t know who is running it now. The guy who founded the business though, is a great, great guy named Tom. He might still be around if he isn`t out chasing his wife`s Brittanies at some field trial or another..
Good Luck..
If I were going there this time of year and could only target one species, I`d fish for smallmouth. Tionesta Creek is very good. Oil Creek from Titusville to the mouth is even better. The Clarion River in Cooks Forest State Park is a beautiful mountain river alive with smallmouth, mostly smaller fish, but some good ones too. And of course, there is the Allegheny. Probably the best bass fishing in the river is from Tionesta downstream for about 40 miles. In september, they will probably still be in the faster water hunting oxygen. The river bass can be spotty, but when you find them, you usually find a bunch of them.
