Checklist

A valid Pennsylvania fishing license is required of persons age 16 and over. Whether you are a Pennsylvania resident or visit Pennsylvania to fish, there are lots of license options to choose from. Buy an annual or multi-year license. Senior citizens enjoy discounted licenses, and are eligible for a lifetime license. In addition, special licenses are available for disabled veterans.

In addition to a Pennsylvania Fishing License, a current Pennsylvania trout permit is required to fish for trout in Pennsylvania waters.

9 foot, 5 or 6 weight rods with a floating line on your reel is recommended. If you do not have a rod/reel Ace Fly Fishing Guides will provide them free of charge.

Lightweight breathable chest high waders with a wading belt, felt sole wading boots with or without studs.

With hooks flying around eye protection is important. Polarization helps cut the sun’s glare and betters your ability to see what the guide is pointing out underneath the water.

This helps cut the glare of the sun along with the polarized sunglasses.

Higher elevations and the sun’s reflection off the water lead to twice the sun exposure. Ace FLy Fishing Guide recommends a 30 SPF or greater, applied before your day begins and at lunchtime.

If you have medicines or medical devices, such as an EpiPen or asthma inhaler, please be sure to remember them on your trip.

Extra layers such as long underwear, stocking hat, fingerless gloves, and maybe a light down vest can’t hurt. Don’t forget socks!

Don’t forget your phone to capture the catch of a lifetime and improve your bragging rights! Don’t forget to charge your phone.
