I live south of there, 100 yds from the bushkill creek. Good for trout down my way, not sure up in that area tho. Lots of access areas also.

I've fished that area. I prefer the Bushkill up Route 402 at Resica Falls Scout Reservation.

Saw Creek is really three diff't streams: Headwaters to Saw Creek Lake is primarily native brookie water that gets stocked. Here its a fragmented stream that breaks off into 20 diff't channels and is hard to fish. From the lake to Saw Creek falls area(Lehman Twp Park), its poor trout water due to warming from the lake. More pickerel/sunfish. Below the falls to Bushkill it is fast moving wild brown trout water albeit limited pops. Only the twp park is open to public. Below there its heavily posted.

Bushkill is mostly put & take fishery below Resica. I've caught more smallmouths in that lower area than trout.
