Sometimes it's nice to get away from the urban hustle-bustle, even if your in the suburbs. In some suburban regions, such as the outskirts of Philadelphia, there are decently stocked trout streams.
Earlier in July, I went to Michigan to a wild trout stream. Now, in late July and early August, I'll be taking a trip to Kentucky. This trip doesn't have a main goal of fishing, it's supposed to be mostly sightseeing Louisville. But, I'll find a cane pole or a spin-cast rod and fish for some bass or bluegill.
Summer is a hard time for trout in Pennsylvania when it's hot and water temperatures approach the 70's. But in Kentucky, it's prime time for warm water fish like sunfish and bass. Last year, I went on the same trip and caught over 40 bluegill over an 8 hour period. That's about 5 fish each hour, or 1 fish every 12 minutes.
It's great fishing there, but there's nothing like the pull of a trout on a fly rod. So, getting away from your regular fishing hole every once in awhile is a good idea, just to keep in the back of your head.
