Little Juniata River Stream Report

Date:

Water Level / Clarity: Currently 1230 cfs / median is 263 cfs. | Blown Out Condtions

Water Temp: 40's

Fishing Overview

The Little J is blown out. Expect conditions to worsen with the precipitation coming today. It should be fishable by the weekend. Water temps have dropped and most fish are done spawning, target the deeper slower runs on these cold days. Small nymphs have been the ticket for fishing in Central PA as of late. Streamers in lower light have been productive but look out for redds and DO NOT target fish on spawning beds.

General Info

Specific Tips

The Little J fish seem to love green anything, whether that be a streamer, a hotspot on a nymph, or the nymph itself. Get your fly down deep in the wintertime and target those deep runs and pools.
