    • Bellefonte may be one of the most convenient places to go fly-fishing as Spring Creek runs right through town.​ ​Make sure you have the proper fishing license, and no fishing is allowed from the banks – you must be in the water when fishing the section in town.​ ​This isn’t the only reason Bellefonte is a great fishing destination though. According to the Bellefonte Chamber of Commerce, there are five other “world-famous fishing streams” only a half hour away.
