Anyone know anything about hunting & fishing in the Tionesta, PA area? Might be looking at a camp there and would be interested in learning more about the area.

I used to hunt in that area. Had a camp in West Hickory and hunted in Warren Co. We always saw deer and my father and I have shot plenty of deer up there. I did not do much fishing. The country is nice and the people are too. But I since moved to the eastern part of the state and since sold the cabin after I graduated from college. Many memories up there. Just make sure you research it for yourself to make sure it is what you want.

Our family has a camp in Newmansville. The guys used to hunt and fish all over the Tionesta area and always had good luck. The camp kinda got run down and the guys got lazy so there hasn't been much hunting or fishing lately. I've gone up there to fish below the dam, at Nebraska bridge and at many spots all the way to Kelletville, and have always had decent luck. Sometimes it is productive to walk along the small streams and look for cover - there's always a trout hiding in there somewhere. Maybe next year I'll go up for archery for something different. I just love the Tionesta area. It's beautiful.

Thanks everyone. I sure appreciate hearing about Tionesta. I looked at a camp near the Nebraska Bridge last year, but things were pretty crowded there. Hunted the first 2 days in Kane this year and saw lots of does, but had no doe tag. Saw one buck, but couldn't count the points, although I am sure he was legal. I just let him walk away rather than shoot an illegal buck.

Star1pup ......I was also by Kane i shot a doe up there and a nice mounter buck last year up there. I also took 2 other buck up there since i started to hunt. We have a camp 7 miles north of there on Rt 321. If you know where bobs trading post is our log cabin is diagnally across the street and derectly across from the motel. all together we had 4 hanging but no buck. I also went to the BIG BUCK contest at the treatment plant and i was wondering if you were there....

Didn't go to the Big Buck contest this year. My buddy's camp is way back in the forest and we just stayed in for both days rather than fight the snow.

My mother was born there. I've had a camp on German hill since 1979. The hunting and fishing is great. Plenty of deer bear turkeys grouse and squirrel. Close to some farm country but also not far from "the big woods" The bucks are getting better and the crowds are a mere shadow of what they were when we first started hunting there. Tionesta Lake is a great place for muskies, plenty of good trout water around, Tionesta creek has decent smallmouth and the Allegheny has plenty of smallies, and walleye. There's even a watershed nearby that has a good population of naturally reproducing wild rainbow trout.

Had a chance to check out the Tionesta area on Saturday. Since I was in the area for another reason I couldn't spend a lot of time. Like the area, though, so I might buy the camp I have been looking at.
