Fly-Fishing at Letort Spring in Carlisle, PA

John Gooderham gives a short fly-fishing lesson on a section of LeTort Spring, one of the 13 Pennsylvania Designated Scenic Rivers. LeTort Springs isn't for the faint of heart; if the copious reed beds and taxing currents aren't challenging enough, the wild brown trout here seem to be particularly wily.

Dude, I am a native of Pa and have fished (with fond memories) the Letort. Your approach has potential, but you need some help with the scripting.... Beautiful country. Montana may be God's Country, but the streams of PA are Jesus'.

Hi all! Just to clear up semantics- by "this country" I meant the Cumberland Valley country in central PA. I've had the good fortune of fishing many wild Brown streams in this great USA! Hope to see you all out there on the water.

Trout "root" like pigs? This video sucks you didn't catch anything..Im going to drill for oil near your stream for wearing that hat.

@Soprano7575 - I've fished it twice, and many other PA streams. Been to PA for trout a few times. Sorry you got upset that someone would question a misstatement.

@Hookinem OK relax. Take a pill!!! The Letort is historical in the history of flyfishing and a very special limestoner. Even better, you don't have to pay to fish this stream like some(limestone) streams out west! His meaning is within the context of so many stocked streams here in PA. You should do some homework on some of the legends who fished this run and the patterns developed on this wonderful gem.

How can you say "One of the last wild brown trout fisheries in the country"? Have you been to California or Montana or Idaho. There are thousands of wild trout streams in the country.

I love the creek, but saying it supports one of the "last wild brown trout fisheries" in the country? You need to get our more, John...or come down here to NC/GA and we'll put you on plenty of stream-borne brownies. Come on down anytime. :)
