McMicheals Creek
McMicheals Creek may not be as famous as its sister streams the Brodhead and Pocono Creeks but it has been a local favorite stream for many years.  The McMicheal doesn't have a step gradiant like the Pocono and may not have the access of the Brodhead but it has good hatches and a good population of wild and stocked fish its entire length.  Stroud Township is helping create more access to this stream by purchasing land along its banks near Stroudsburg and the Glenbrook golf course.  There is a new delayed harvest area near Stroudsburg and a few miles of stocked water that provide areas to cast to rising fish on many evenings during the spring and summer.  The Sulphurs and Slate Drakes come to mind when I think of the McMicheals and some great catches as well.  This is an easy stream to wade and it fishes well most of the year.   

Brodhead Creek

The Brodhead at Analomink

The Brodhead is the keystone of fly fishing in the Pocono Region.  This is were fly fishing started in America and I am pround to call it my home stream.  This large freestone stream is easily separated into three seperate sections.  The upper end near Annalomink is filled with large boulders and pocket water that will challange anglers of all skill levels.  The middle section flows trough Stroudsburg and E.Stroudsburg and has many long pools and fast runs that have a smaller cobble stone rock bottom.  The stream is this area changes from year to year and provides good dry fly fishing for most of the year.  The lower end is a large gorge that is fairly inaccessible.  This area has treacherous wading and deep water,  It should be left to those who like an adventure and a challange.  Fishing in the lower section is about quality not quantity.  A few nice fish inhabit these large deep pools and runs.  There is a section of the Brodhead that will suit your fishing style and with its many hatches it will surely be a memorable trip in your fishing history.
