River off-loading and parking facilities are available at Blackwell and two miles south of Blackwell on Route 414. March hosts the Annual Coyote event. This weekend event requires registration and prizes are offered for the most coyote harvested. Contact the Blackwell Hotel staff for registration information. The middle of April brings trout season to the Pine Creek Valley.
Pine Creek holds ample counties of trout for the bait, spin or flyfisherman.
Just as important as the trout, the Pine Creek Valley offers an unparalleled setting for fishing. Of special interest to the flyfisherman is the legendary drake hatch at Blackwell. In May, spring gobbler season begins. Huge populations of turkey live in the area. Although easy to spot in large numbers most of the year, these birds present a remarkable challenge to any turkey hunter.
