Got out to hit the Beaver Tailwaters for a few hours on Saturday. Fish were pretty active and some pretty good numbers were caught. I started fishing just before 10am and had several quick hookups. Then a hatch came on and the fish were very active on the surface. I'm not an experienced fly fisher so I …

Can't believe this weather for this early in Feb. Weather was so nice to get out and fish and a lot of people thought the same thing.

Beaver Tailwaters Jan 17th, love the Pheasant Tail Nymph!

Cold Day Fishing – Beaver Tailwaters Nov 14
With snow in the forecast and the temperature starting at a frigid 27 degrees, that was still not going to stop me from getting a little fly fishing in this Saturday morning. I thought about fishing many times throughout the work week and on my way from work Wednesday evening I had even convinced myself that …

Fishing Beaver Tailwaters Nov 8th
After a rough weekend last week due to the early and long generation schedule and a tough/long week at work, I was itching to get out there and catch some fish this weekend. I got up and was at the Beaver Tailwaters just a little after 7am. I decided to try a new section I …

First cold morning fishing opportunity of the year, with temps in the mid 20's. I checked the generation schedule using the link below: http://www.swpa.gov/generationschedules.aspx Found they were planning on generating from 7am to 11am for the Beaver Tailwaters, labeled as #11 across the top of the list, which means they start around 6am, and will …
