Weekend Trout Fishing Trip - Suggestions?
So my wife and son have fled to Florida for a week leaving just me and the dog home and with nothing to do this weekend. Since it is rare that I have an entire weekend to myself I figured I would make the most of it and do some trout fishing. I am looking for suggestions on a good destination. I am planning to leave bright and early Sat. morning and not looking to drive more than 3 hours (4 tops) and then will be spending Sat. night wherever I end up. I was thinking somewhere in NY state or PA but I have never travelled that far afield and have no idea where to find the best trout streams. Seeing as its going to be pretty cold this weekend I am not inclined to make this a camping trip so wherever I go would ideally have some reasonably priced and dog friendly accommodations nearby (nothing fancy, I am thinking motel, the cheaper the better). All suggestions welcome! Thanks!

Water levels are still high in most places and that should guide your decision. If I had a 3hr drive window, I'd hit PA. Lots of central PA and Scranton area streams to explore. West branch or main stem Delaware if you're hunting big fish.

Head west! Killer brown trout run this year with all the rain,

Any specific streams/Rivers you suggest I check out or General areas in PA? Feel free to PM me if you would rather not name specific streams on the forum. PA is a big place so I need to at least pin down a general area to target. Thanks!

Do the lower South branch circuit. Start at Clinton Falls then hit all the spots down river-- low and slow with jigs.
