The Letort Spring Run is an internationally renowned, wild trout stream that is also designated a Pennsylvania Scenic River.
|
Catch-and-release fly fishing continues as the only authorized method of fishing the Letort upstream of Letort Park, but all legal fishing techniques are allowed in the park and downstream to the Letort’s confluence with Conodoguinet Creek in Middlesex Township. 
Stream temperature, pH, conductivity, nitrate and phosphate are collected by the Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring from 13 sites along the stream once ever other month. |
The cold, clean water in this spring-fed stream produces almost 20 times more life per acre than typical streams outside the limestone areas. The profusion of aquatic plants found in the Letort is unique to limestone streams.
