New For 2025









New

      Again for 2025 I'll be doing guide trips for smallmouth and largemouth bass throughout the summer months. Two years ago I started running these guide trips on lakes the Juniata River and some of the bigger streams in northern PA. These trips went over very well with the warm water anglers that I guided.

      Being a die heart trout angler I wanted to extend my fly fishing outings through the summer. So when our trout streams started to reach somewhat high temperatures, it was time to give the trout a break and go fish for the second best predatory game fish in our waters, BASS.












      
      I offer three different guide trips. First being a walk and wade trip on some of North Central Pennsylvania's biggest streams. Second, a float trip seven to eight miles on the Juniata River chasing smallmouths in my three man StealthCraft raft. Third casting for largemouths on a few selected lakes out of my 14' Salt Marsh poling skiff.

      So if you're looking to extend your fly fishing season into those summer months and would like to chase some pretty aggressive fish with bigger flies. Check out my bass trips on the Guide Trip Page. I am sure you'll have a great time on one of them. Give me a call and we'll set a date for a good time on the water.
Cicada Hatch 2025
      As most probably know by now the seventeen year cicadas will be making their emergence in Central Pennsylvania in 2025. These are some giant bugs and they will be on some of the top streams in central PA. As I remember back in 2008 this event was absolutely incredible. These bugs seemed to get every trout's attention big and small,especially the bigger browns. I saw and heard reports from all over central PA that some really big browns were being brought to hand and of course I happened to be right in the thick of that spectacular event. I can remember a few of those days just like it was yesterday. 

      For 2025 I'll be running some Cicada guide trips on some of Central Pennsylvania's waters. We'll be throwing some floating and sinking cicadas on size #4 hooks and a seven and half leader tipped to 1x tippet. These fish will definitely not be leader shy, they'll be just looking for that big meal. So, as far as when the hatch will take place, well my thoughts are mid June into July. But remember mother nature will be a big factor. Hopefully I have it right.










      So if you're interested in throwing some big bugs to decent sized brown trout give me a call (814)322-4755 or shoot me an email wetflywg@gmail.com. Some good dates are still left in June and July. You don't want to miss this.
