Time for winter

As you find your way along the many groomed snowmobile, cross country ski and snowshoeing trails of Glendorn.  You'll find little buildings like this one in lost Valley.

Fall, Feathers and Fun

Rock and Candy, our finished English Pointers, are ready.  Are you?  Upland wing shooting season is here and our dogs are ready for some fast flushing fun.  See you this season.

Summer Hopper Fun

August is terrestrial time.  Look at these great fish caught on hoppers this past week.

Summer Bassin

As the trout streams lose their flow and the insect hatches slow.  Fly fishing for warm water species such as pike, musky, carp and bass can be a fun option. Warm water fly fishing is also a great way to tune up for a flats trip.

Small Streams Fun Fishing

This summer has been the summer for small streams.  Weekly rains have kept small streams perfect for fly fishing Native Brook Trout and Wild Browns.  While most of these fish aren't trophies in size, they are survivors since the last ice age.  Native Brook trout are the only native inland salmonoid in Pennsylvania.  Also our state fish.  Come see the wilderness areas surrounding Glendorn and make a cast into one of the areas dozen or more native streams.

Fresh Rain, Fresh Water, Happy Fish

The mid week rains continue to freshen up the flows of our streams at Glendorn. This makes our fish happy, happy fish means happy guests catching fish.  Now is the time to learn fly fishing with one of our guides at Glendorn.

Little Stream, Big Fish

If you want to catch large trout in small to medium sized streams, and short casts with dry flies sounds appealing.  Well don't hesitate, terrestrial season is here and our Glendorn trout are hungry for hoppers.  Look at today's lunkerd.

Glendorn Property Fishing

Did we mention our four miles of stream and four ponds teaming with trout.  Excellent dry fly fishing the rest of the year.  Check out yesterday's catch.  First time fly fishing too.

Warm Water Fly Fishing

Although our area of Pennsylvania is known for its world class trout and steelhead fishing.  Warm water opportunities for Bluegill, Bass, Pike and Musky exist for avid fly rodders too.  During the warm summer afternoons, take a break from the trout and toss a popper for a bass.  Contact us for more information on Jet Boat trips to the Carp flats on Kinzue Resevoir.  A great place to challenge yourself on large carp, light tackle and dry flies.  

Summer Brookies

June through September is the best time of year to explore hundreds of miles of Native Brook trout streams in the ANF region.  Not big, not easy casting but rewarding in beauty and quantity.  Short rods, dry flys and short accurate casts are key to catching Natives on dry flies in this part of the country.  Come by this summer and try to catch the only native, inland salmonoid in the Eastern US.

Cast and Blast

Fly fishing season is still here.  That doesn't mean stuff your shotgun away in the corner for the summer.  Now is the time to stay sharp and have some fun.  At Glendorn we shoot clays year around. Summer is comfortable and a fun time of year to shoot.  Run a round of sporting in the morning then cast a line in the afternoon.  Sounds like my kind of day.  See you on the range.

The Grannoms are Coming

May not only means leek picking, Trout Lillie's blooming and summer like warm days.  May also marks the emergence of one of Trouts main food sources, Caddisflied.  Every year right around Mothers Day, the famous bright green, Candy Apple Caddis, AKA Grannoms, flood the air like snowfall bringinging the rivers trout to the surface to feed.

Cold water and active fish

Looks like another great spring for fly fishing at Glendorn.  Winters icy grip has left our rivers, lakes and streams running on the cold side for this time of year.  Yesterday the river was a cool 48F!  With the cool temperatures it hasn't slowed the seasonal hatches of caddis and mayflies down, with Quill Gordon's, Hendricksons, BWOs and Little Black Grannoms showing up daily.  To sum it all up The Clarion River, Glendorns Spring Creek property and all the water at the lodge is fishing excellent.  We can't wait to show you where the big ones hide.

Stillwater Action

The Glendorn property lake and pond fishing is red hot!  Most fish are being taken sub surface with some afternoon midge dry fly fishing taking place too.  Some guests are reporting catches of 50+ fish an outing.  Our guides are busy netting doubles and even triples.  New to fly fishing, no problem.  Long casts aren't necessary with fish cruising close to the banks.  Conditions will stay the same for weeks ahead.  See you lakeside.

Brokenstraw Creek

The trout are beginning to bite on the Glendorn section of Brokenstraw Creek.  Activities guide, Damon Newphers,wife holding a brown trout on Easter afternoon.  Check back frequently for up to date reports on Glendorns private access fishing on Fuller Brook, West Branch of the "Tuna", Spring Creek, Brokenstraw and four Stillwater lakes.

Mayflies in April

Always wondering why they're mayflies when they hatch periodically throughout the year?  Me too.  Anyways, it's time to be happy again, the mayflies are beginning to emerge.  It's the time of year when big trout are starting to rise in  dry fly paradise.  Want to know more?  Please give us a call at Glendorn 814-362-6511 let's talk bugs and dry flies.

High Water, Big Streamers

April showers bring May flowers and high river flows.  When the water goes up big browns go on the hunt for larger food sources.  April brings a roller coaster of conditions.  During lower flows nymphing and dry flies are guides choice, following spring rains articulated streamers take stage.  Join us in weeks to come to learn streamer fishing techniques and a chance to catch a brown of a lifetime.

April Showers

Warm rain will melt the cold snow and bring the rivers water temperatures up.  As we move into mid and late April hatches of mayflies will fill the skies, bringing trout to the surface to feed.  It's about time to escape to Glendorn for a weekend of fly fishing fun.

Cold mornings, hot fishing.

Despite the cold March we've been experiencing warm temperatures are on the horizon and the fishing is heating up. No signs of any hatches or fish rising yet,

the fish are eager anyhow to eat meat.  Meat? Yep that's the guide lingo for chucking large streamers to big trout that are on an Atkins diet.  Want to learn more?  Join us in the weeks ahead and learn the techniques to catch big trout.

Celebrate Spring!

Spring is here, we'll sort of.  At least the snow is mostly gone and spring rain is priming our rivers.  It won't be long before the prolific hatches of stoneflies, caddis and mayflies are bringing the big trout up to feed.  For now we'll have to settle for big trout coming up to crush our streamers.  It's just as exhilarating to see a 20+ inch brown submarine out from underneath a log and chomp a 6" streamer.  Come joins us for some streamer and dry fly action this April.  See you on the river.

Glendorn Guided Day Off

What do the Glendorn guides Shane and Damon do on their days off?  Go fishing of course.  With this roller coaster winter, the warmer weeks have been great for fly fishing on our local rivers and streams.  Not as productive as spring, still a great way to get outdoors and leave cabin fever behind.  

Winter Skeet & Trap shooting
