The Blackwell Hotel is uniquely situated in one of the finest trout fishing areas in the North East.
Pine Creek has significant populations of brown, rainbow and brook trout.
Several areas in the upper sections of Pine Creek support native trout. Two of the finest freestone native trout streams in all of Pennsylvania, Slate Run and Cedar Run, are minutes from the Blackwell Hotel. These streams are special regulation streams and you will need to consult the Pennsylvania fishing regulations to become conversant with the rules and regulations applicable to each. For the flyfishing enthusiast, the Pine Creek Valley offers spectacular opportunities from April through June. The season begins with the quill gordon and continues with the green eggsac caddis, the hendrickson, the march brown, the gray fox, the sulfur, the green drake, the brown drake and the slate drake.
