Mike Heck's Trout Guides

I've been fly fishing for well over 30 years, I've been a professional guide/instructor for over 17 years, and have been affiliated with Orvis for 10 years. I'm certified by the American Red Cross in CPR and first aid. You may have read some of my articles in Fly Fisherman Magazine, American Angler, Fish & Fly and Mid-Atlantic Fly Fishing Guide. I'm the author of Spring Creek Strategies, and I have also been featured in the show called "Road Trip" which is on the Discovery Channel, Europe. Date Range Mike Heck's Trout Guides is open year-round. What is Provided to Customer I can provide all rod outfit and flies. The angler only needs waders and a Pennsylvania fishing license. Region/Terrain Where You Fish All my trips are wade only. The streams are easy streams to wade. I guide on Falling Springs, LeTort, Yellow Breeches, and other lesser-known streams. If new to fly fishing, I offer beginner classes with equipment provided by Orvis that will put you on the right track, or maybe you need to learn where to find the wary trout that are found in our spring creeks. For this, I offer year-round guiding on the Falling Springs, LeTort, and Yellow Breeches, as well as some other excellent south-central Pennsylvania streams and will show you how and where to find these trout, and instruct you on the techniques and flies used to catch these wild trout. Come late spring, you can join me and fly fish many other area streams that offer the best native brook and wild brown trout fishing there is to offer. Many of these streams are hidden in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains, so don't forget the camera! Typical Weather by Season Weather depends on the season. Days can range from 30s into the 90s depending on the time of the year. Some streams are affected by flooding while our small spring creeks remain fishable under heavy rain.
