MAP OF SINNEMAHONING RIVER, PENNSYLVANIA
|
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 County

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.

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.

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.
