Join Ryan, the owner of Risen Fly, as he guides you to some amazing fishing on some of Central Pa’s famous trout water for a once in every 17 year occurrence!  The periodical cicada emergers in broods all over the USA.  Certain broods only cover certain areas and Brood XIV is the perfect storm of huge clumsy insects infesting some of the best wild trout water in the Eastern US.  Throwing massive foam and deer hair cicada patterns to willing and hungry wild fish is what we all dream of and this is your chance!

Not only will the cicadas be out, but some of the best mayfly and caddis hatches happen this time of year.  Sulphurs, March Browns, BWOs, Green Drakes and so much more!

Details on arrival: You will arrive throughout the afternoon on the first day and will check in and get comfortable in our amazing accommodations at a modern rustic home.  This place has it all to relax when we are not fishing.  It sits on some beautiful property with a hot tub, beautiful wooden architecture, outdoor fire pit and close access to Penns Creek.  We will eat an early dinner and head out to the water to get the early skunk off and target some beautiful wild brown and brook trout.  Days 2-4 will be full days of fishing.  We will vary destinations based on conditions and insect location but have more than half a dozen world class brown trout streams to target fish as well as smaller tributaries for wild brook trout.  Check out in the morning on day 5.

Gear: We of course can help you out with this.  Once you book we will send you information on what gear is needed for this trip and how to prepare.  Basic gear needed will be fly rods and reels in the 3-5wt size, leaders and tippet ranging from 3-8 pounds, cicada, dry fly and nymph flies, waders and boots and a few other items.  We will help gear you up with what you need and will also have extra gear there if different gear is needed for each water we target.

We look forward to meeting many of you who have helped and supported Risen Fly over the years.  This is an event Ryan has anticipated for years and can’t wait to share it with you!
