Group Trips on Local Waters

I’ve been walking the banks of First Fork since I was a toddler. I’ve fished it my entire life, and for many years, I owned a camp on its headwaters. This region has touched me so deeply that I finally moved to Coudersport three years ago so that I could fish First Fork any time I wanted. And I’m looking forward to sharing my knowledge of this stream with you on the water. Here are the details for the group trip: For each trip, we will arrive at the First Fork Lodge in Costello on Sunday afternoon before dinner. We will fish Monday and Tuesday and depart Wednesday morning after breakfast. (Photo is from the May 2024 group trip on First Fork.)
We currently have two group trips planned for 2025:

May 4-7, 2025
at First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek.

May 11-14, 2025
at First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek.
What's included:
- Lodging for 3 nights at First Fork Lodge
- All meals - breakfast, lunch, and dinner
- Two full days of fishing
- Insider knowledge of what's hatching and where to find the best fishing
What's not included:
- PA fishing license and trout/salmon stamp
- Guide service
- Fly fishing gear such as rods, reels, line, waders, and any other accessories you might typically carry on the water.
*I will have a couple of fly rods available if you’re new or would like to bring along someone who has never fly fished before and would like to try.
Please note, this will not be a guided trip. However, we will have spots scouted prior to your arrival and have a good sense of what’s hatching and where so that you will have the highest quality fishing experience. We will do everything in our power to make sure you’re not only in a good spot, but that you’re comfortable and have the flies you need to be successful.
Total cost for the group trips is $695 per person. Maximum of only 8 anglers per trip.
