Looking for fly fishers & fly tiers in NEPA.

[Titanium]

Hello Fellow Anglers,
I just signed up here, but have been on other forums for quite a while. I'm looking for some other fly fishers and fly tiers from NEPA.

I fish the Lehigh and consider it my home stream because it is the closest. However, I fish and occasionally get to other streams like Bowman's Creek, Lackawaxen River, Dyberry Creek, Tunkhannock Creek, Harveys Creek, and others. I've been fly fishing and fly tying for over 30 years now. I have also fished waters in other states like some of the great Catskill streams in NY and a few in CT. I've also been to Penns Creek and to the great limestone streams in central PA like Yellow Breeches and the Letort. I plan on getting to the Upper Delaware this Spring and Summer and am currently studying some books on the area.

I'm just trying to get aquainted with some members here that are from NEPA. I live in Luzerne County. So, who else here is from my area and fishes the same streams?

I'l like to know if you are around and will also help out some new fly fishers/fly tiers if you are just starting out.

Thanks!

T,

I have property up near Tunkhannock and started fishing Bowman's this year. I only have 2 years of fly fishing under my belt so I'm still figuring things out.

Typically I will use a dry fly as an indicator and drop a nymph.

Any recommendation on flies I need to have in my box?

Also, could these recommendations be used in Tunkhannock Creek?

Any help is appreciated
