Spring Mills, PA Posts: 97	alot of people talk alot of shit about penns not being fishable in the summer im sure that in the lower sections this is true, however there is alot of canopy covering the creek in upper sections as well as cool under ground springs on some peoples property where the water never exceeds 58 also maybe near the the entrance of elk creek maybe cool aswell but i have never taken a temp reading so i cant verify. one thing is true, the water is often real low this summer and real clear.

State College, PA Posts: 103	thats interesting, I read about and hear a lot of penns hitting the 80F mark in late summer and I scratch my head and wonder how in the heck trout can survive that, given penns is supposed to be one of the better wild trout streams in pa. I think you said you live near penns so your probably a better source as to what is true and what isnt.

Chambersburg, PA Posts: 452	Smallstream, I would venture to say given the schizophrenic nature of Penns both situtations are possible. I have been at Poe Paddy when the water temp at 9:00am was already in the mid 70's. This is basically the midsection of the regs and there have been very few cold tribs of any significance for several miles. From his description IEat is fishing well above Spring Mills which still catches water from subterranean sources so it would be cooler. The same day I took the above temp I was at Coburn 45 minutes later and the water at the confluence with Elk/Pine was solidly 10 degrees cooler. As for trout survival I have read and heard of trout surviving water temps approaching 80 provided it is thoroughly oxygenated. The problem is any added stress (read fishing) is a guarenteed death sentence. This is where the moral issues of fishing cold water refuges comes in.. Beautiful Brownie!!!!!!
