Pennsylvania's fly fishing heritage is among the richest in the nation. Fly fishing forefathers such as Vince Marinaro unlocked the code of dry fly fishing in the United States on Pennslyvania's spring creeks such as the Letort. Fly fishing's roots are partially planted in the trout rich streams and rivers of Pennsylvania that offer up complex and historical hatches of species such as green drakes and sulphurs. As a result, the state has also yielded many modern fly fishing authorities such as Charles Meck, Ed Shenk, and Barry Beck, to name a few.

Pennsylvania is bordered on the north and northeast by New York, on the east, across the Delaware River by New Jersey, on the south by Delaware, Maryland, and West Virginia, on the west by Ohio, and on the northwest by Lake Erie. The Delaware, Susquehanna, Monongahela, Allegheny, and Ohio Rivers are the major rivers of the state.
