Tulpehocken Creek is an outstanding tailwater fishery located just outside of Reading, Pennsylvania. The bottom release dam discharges cool and fertile water from depths of up to 50 feet which keeps the Tulpehocken Creek cool enough for trout to survive. In fact, the trout in Tulpehocken Creek thrive in the almost 4 miles of water below the dam, with heavy brown and rainbow trout averaging between 12-14 inches. ...
Drag free drifts that get those nymphs down are where you will find most fish. You may see some fish up eating emergers, but most will be taking nymphs and/or streamers rolled deeper. Keep your indicator downstream and fish deeper water and you'll be in good shape!
Spotty T-storms in the area might give the Tully some added water, but warmer temps have us excited to get out and see more active fish. As long as water levels are fishable the stream should be in great shape.
