1 - EXCELLENT on 04/20/2010
Fished the 1st fork again but with better results than the day before. There was only 1 other guy fishing. I caught 4 rainbows in the morning then headed to another section of the stream. Around 2:00pm the water started to boil with rises. Hendricksons, Blue Quills, Quill Gordons, Caddis and possibly March Browns were all coming off. The blue quills blanketed the water. Out of the 10 or so guys I could see, only 3 of us were catching fish since the others were using bait and gear. Ended the afternoon with about 10 browns and bows and missed a ton more.

3 - FAIR on 04/20/2010
Fished the First Fork on opening day(4/17) as I have for over 20 years now. The water was at summer levels already which is really scary. The local sportsmans club stocked a ton of fish like usual only they were all in the deep holes because of the low water. I caught a few fish in the morning and had to leave the stream before I killed someone. It's amazing how ignorant bait guys are. I went to another fork of the Sinne and caught 2 more fish before the bait guys moved in again.

Fished the First Fork for a few hours on 10/30. The water was higher than usual but the fish were still hitting flies. I caught 6 small wild browns and 1 tiny brookie. All fish were caught on nymphs.

2 - GOOD on 05/22/2009
Guided 2 people on Delayed Harvest Section on 5/21. Lots of life on the water. Caddis were hatching most of the day. Trout were taking a bead head pheasant tail, size 12 and 14. We caught a total of 14 trout, largest being a 16" brown. Found some drake nymphs clinging to the bottom... they are soon to come. Before we left, there was a grey fox hatch starting. No fish rising yet.

1 - EXCELLENT on 04/21/2009
Fished the 1st Fork for opening day. The morning was slow but near noon the BHPT's started taking fish one after the other. By the day's end, two of us caught about 30 fish. Very few bait guys caught anything despite the fact that the stream was stocked 3 times prior to opening day. It seemed flies were the hot ticket with the BHPT and caddis pupa's producing most.

Descriptions
1. Sinnemahoning Creek is a tributary of the West Branch Susquehanna River in
Cameron and Clinton Counties, Pennsylvania in the United States.
Sinnemahoning Creek (Native American for "stony lick"), is formed by the
confluence of the Bennett and Driftwood Branches at the borough of
Driftwood. The tributary First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek joins 3.7 miles (6
km) downstream of Driftwood. Sinnemahoning Creek continues 11.9 miles
(19.2 km) to join the West Branch Susquehanna River at the village of
Keating.Freeman Run joins the First Fork at the community of Costello,
Potter County.
The East Fork joins 5.6 miles (9 km) downstream at
the community of Wharton, Potter County.
The First Fork continues
for 11.7 miles (18.8 km) to the George B. Stevenson Dam in Sinnemahoning
State Park.
The dam creates the George B. Stevenson Reservoir, a
142 acre (0.57 km²) man made lake constructed by the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania in 1955 as part of the flood control project on the West
Branch Susquehanna River. It is one of four such dams in the river basin.
The other reservoirs are at Kettle Creek State Park, Curwensville and Bald
Eagle State Park. These four reservoirs and dams control a total of 1,163
square miles (3012 km²) of drainage area and provides flood prevention
for the cities and towns downstream.
The reservoir is open to some
recreational boating, fishing and ice fishing. Gas powered motors are
prohibited - motorized boats must be powered by electric motors only.
Sailboats, rowboats, canoes, kayaks, and paddleboats are permitted on the
waters of the lake. All boats must be properly registered with any state.
The reservoir is open to ice fishing during the winter months when the
lake is frozen.
The First Fork continues for 8 miles (12.9 km) to join
Sinnemahoning Creek at the community of Sinnemahoning, Cameron
