Falling Springs Hatch Chart

Falling Springs:  Located in Chambersburg, Falling Springs is an excellent spring creek trout fishery.  Falling Springs has a constant year round flow and consistent water temperatures and is maintained by the local Trout Unlimited Chapter.  The Greenway Project by Trout Unlimited has improved and maintained both the habitat and streamside access.  Falling Springs is not more than 10-20 feet across through most of the stream and is easily accessed without waders.  Hip waders are recommended for crossing the stream.
