Local trout anglers continue to take numerous sizeable fish from the Lehigh River and area streams. Fathead minnows seem to be the most effective bait, with fly fishermen doing well with emergers and caddis larvae fished on the bottom. Cedar Creek, Jordan Creek, Little Lehigh Creek, Ontelaunee Creek, Switzer Creek and Big Trout Creek are scheduled to be stocked again this week.
