We are based in Carlisle, Pennsylvania, right on the banks of the famed spring creeks of the Cumberland Valley and just a short ride from the world renowned limestoners of Central PA. Aside from the more famous rivers, there are hundreds of lesser know creeks within a few hours of our home base. Though we specialize in teaching European nymphing and competition tactics, we can tailor the trip to whatever you want if that isn’t your style. If you’re looking to go beyond trout, our area offers excellent fishing for musky, pike, bass, carp, and other rarely targeted species we would love to put you in front of! On top of walk and wade trips, starting in spring 2024 we will offer float trips on select waters as well! Reach out to fringeflyfishing@gmail.com or call/text 412-852-2477 to book your trip today!
Please note, trout trips are suspended from October 31st to December 1st, in order to protect our spawning fish.
