We received more rain last night. Fishing the runs has been very productive along with throwing streamers from a boat or from the shore. March browns and tan caddis are leading the way for surface activity. Stop in and check out our great selection of flies. And a huge thank you to everyone who made our customer appreciation day a success!

A limited number of licenses are available!
The Brown Trout Club is in its drive to raise funds for the 2025-6 Pine Creek stockings. Pins and license plates will become available each new year. Occasionally we have pins and plate from past years if you would be in need of one. All we ask is a donation to receive past years pins and plates. We need your support to continue the heavy stocking schedule that maintains the free, world class fishing experience in The Stretch on Pine Creek. Help the Brown Trout population in Pine Creek – join The Slate Run Tackle Shop’s Brown Trout Club today!
If you haven’t already done so, please support the stocking efforts of the Brown Trout Club with a monetary donation. Please mail donations, payable to the Brown Trout Club to, Slate Run Tackle Shop, 14167 Route 414, Slate Run, PA 17769.
