| Here are some UPDATED Pennsylvania Fishing locations collected from last year's reports. Thanks for all the great reports Alverthorp Park Pond Nightcrawlers and black softbait fished slow worked for Largemouth. Nonstop small Sunny action on dough balls and worms. Delaware River Washington's Crossing is a good spot for Smallmouth bass. Delaware Water Gap Early season Smallmouth can be caught on Tube bait in 5-10ft of water Green Lane Lake, PA Sunnies are king off the beach by the ranger station. We do know of a couple nice Largemouth caught recently. Also a few catfish. Lehigh River, PA Near White Haven has been a good area for Smallmouth Bass. Bring a mountain bike. There are some great fishing spots along the Gorge Trail. In this river you will also find.Trout, and some Walleye. For more information on the Lehigh River, please go to our Links page and click on the Lehigh River Stocking Association Banner. This group is doing great things on the Lehigh! Pennypack Creek Stocked Trout were caught on corn, cheese and redworms. Perkiomen Creek, PA You will need to do some searching, but there are some very nice Trout holes and pockets of Smallmouth. Start looking around the parks. Lake Wallenpaupack This Large Lake holds Largemouth, Smallmouth, Yellow Perch, Walleye, Pickerel, Muskies, Brown Trout, and Rainbow Trout. The lake can be very productive, but do yourself a favor and go early and late in the season. During the summer there is a lot of boat traffic. If you want to fish here in the summer try mid-week. June Smallies, Panfish, and Catfish caught on redworms, leach and shiny lures. French Creek In response to a recent GuestBook Post, French Creek is a couple miles South of Pottstown. It is stocked annually with Trout. There is a delayed harvest Fly fishing only section around Hollow Road.There is also a French Creek State Park.There are two lakes in this park, Scotts Run and Hopewell Lake. Scotts Run is stocked with hatchery Trout several times a year. Hopewell Lake boast, Bass, Pike, Pickerel, Muskie, Walleye, and panfish. It's been several years since we fished either lake, but we caught loads of panfish (Sunnies) and couple of Pickerel. The park offers some great hiking and camping. So if you don't catch any fish there's lots of other things to do. If anyone has a more up to date fishing report please email us. Bradys Lake Bradys lake is off of Rt.940 in the Mount Pocono area. This lake holds some nice Largemouth Bass, Pickerel, Sunnies and Perch. It is a beautiful lake in the middle of some prime state game land. There is some concern about the condition of the lake's dam. In the near future (if not now) the lake may have to be drawn down for repairs. Please check the PA Fish and Boat Commisions web page for more information. There is a link to their site on our links page. Here are a couple of new areas to try. Susquehanna River Check out the Falmouth Access area (just below Three Mile Island) for some nice sized Walleyes. Lake Nockamixon This is a fairly large lake for Eastern Pa. It boast, Largemouth, Walleye, Pike and Catfish. Thry allow small outboards up to 9hsp and there are several good locations to fish from land. Our thanks to the fishermen and women who supplied these new locations. More from our friends along the Susquhanna: Walleyes and Muskies can be found around the South Gate Bridge area along River Road. Some of the areas around this location have very restricted access. Please obey all postings and if need be get permission. NEW FROM 2005 REPORTS Wissahickon Creek near Blair Mill Road 5-15-05 We cast under the bridge with a yellow orange Martin Panther (you can see a picture of the lure on our lures and more page). We also fished along a stone ledge about 150 yards S of the bridge with the same lure. We caught several nice stocked trout and a few sunnies. Struble Lake Friends of this web site fish this lake and other lakes in the Berks County They do well catching largemouth on Salty Spiders made by Cabin Creek and Cotton Cordels. Arrowhead Lakes This lake produced perch, pickerel, sunnies and largemouth all summer long. Lures of choice are: Blue Fox Vibrax No.2, Sizmic Toads, Live minnows and Zoom June Bug Lizards.

| Bradford Reservoir Off of County Line Rd. near Rt 611 near Warrington. It has Largemouth Bass, Crappie, Sunnies, and Catfish. We have been fishing there for years. It's a sure thing if you have kids. We have never been skunked. One time while pounding Crappie in late March a Monster Bass exploded on a mid-sized Crappie I was about to land. It made such a racket the everyone thought I fell in. I fought the Bass for about 20 seconds before it spit out the Crappie. After that I had to let the Crappie go! Bradford Rservoir 4-9-05 Nice largemouth was caught and released on a brown Sizmic toad on the East side of the lake at dusk about 10 ft from the waters edge. |

| Arrowhead Lakes (private lake) Perch and Pickerel hit spinners (Gold Thomas) Largemouth on medium minnows, green buzzbait, gold Rapala and gold spinners. Stocked Trout caught on small orange spinners Shahola Falls, Wayne County Small lake, no motors allowed except electric. Tons of weeds and difficult to get around, but there are some "HUGE" Pickerel. Try spinners cast into the small openings around the lilly pads or a jig and pig dropped through the holes in the weeds. Be prepared to loose some tackle. The supplier of this report recommends you use 25-lb test line if you want to land anything. Beltsville Reservoir Beltsville holds a wide variety of fish. Largemouth, Smallmouth, Pickerel, Hybrid Stripers and Panfish. It is a deep lake, over 120 feet by the dam. The dock and Dam are open 24 hours a day with plenty of parking. Try fishing during the week. On weekends there may be some heavy boat traffic. Beware of the ski and recreational boating only areas. You will be fined if caught fishing in them. Flatfish, spinners, and large minnows worked best for the provider of this report. |
