Living in this area is simply a bass fisherman's dream location. We have so many different and diverse waterways in every directions it is simply amazing. We have awesome fishing of the finger lakes just a couple hours north of us. We have the super clear and deep Beltzville reservoir. Lake Wallenpuapack which made the top 100 list in Bassmaster magazine of the best Bass fishing destinations in the country. The Poconos region also has tons of small lakes and the Diamond in the rough(Shohola Marsh), which has a really impressive Largemouth, Pickeral, and Panfish population. The legendary Susquehanna River flows right through out backyards in this area with catch's of over 100 smallmouth bass with an occasional walleye, a day reported when the conditions come together just right. We have fantastic Natural Lakes, like Lake Winola and Harvey's Lake which both provide fantastic fishing opportunities for both bass and trout. We have lots of small man-made lakes thanks to the PA Fish Commission, many of which have big bass regulations that keep the population of bass on the heavier and bigger side! Further out to the east we have access to Lakes like Candlewood and Rivers like the Potomac and Chesapeake Bay which are actually Southeast. To the North, yet within state lines are lakes like Duck Harbor and Prompton Dam, which are awesome fisheries as well. To the West we have Cowanesque and Hammond Lakes which are both excellent Bass, Muskie and Crappie fishing lakes. Further West we are within driving distance of Presque Isle Bay on the Legendary Lake Erie, where 100 fish days happen almost enough to call it a common occurrence, with super sized smallmouth bass, yellow perch, walleye, salmon, and trout to boot! Further North we are within driving distance of the Eastern portion of Erie, Lake Ontario, 1000 Islands, Black Lake, and countless other world famous fishing destinations! Come and enjoy the perfectly located North East PA! The number of great fisheries that are all within reach in this portion of the country is staggering. I sure do enjoy living in an area where I can drive 5 minutes and hit the river and catch smallmouth bass nonstop or I can drive to a place like Oneida Lake and enjoy the healthy Walleye, Smallmouth, and Largemouth Bass fishery that it is, fishing in a completely different way!

Hey Anderson. I am pretty new to the area. I love to fish also. I haven't had any luck around here. I cannot find anybody to show me any good spots. I have two little boys and a 3 person kayak. We are eager to have some good fishing adventures. If you know of a good place especially for kids to catch bass I would appreciate the help. I live in mountain top.

I have always wanted to try fishing so I searched for blog posts about it, hence I stumbled upon your blog. The areas that you provided seems to be really promising. I would like to ask, however, as to when you can really be a skilled fisherman? Is it after five or a couple more tries? Or is it depending on how much luck you can get that day?

This article is true. My grandfather who has a house in Tunkhannock was the one who introduced me fishing. Together with my siblings, we go fishing there every weekend. Luckily, we can catch as much as 20 big fishes in two hours. You can just imagine how blessed this place is! I am a living proof that Tunkhannock is one of the best places for fishing!

They have a fast and a little length as well. Bass angling kayaks ought to be steady and suited for both trolling and calculating.

Without fail, Scranton, Wilkes-Barre, and Tunkhannock areas are great places for fishing! I would love to visit there again and again. I have already heard a lot more about these locations.

Hi! I am writing in compassion for my father. He has ALWAYS been a fisherman. It was his only interest. Now, he is stricken with terrible arthritis of the knees and has much problem walking distances and getting into boats. Are there any fishing areas you know wich would be easy for him to enjoy fishing again? He lives in Mountaintop, PA? Maybe a stocked pond that is easy to get to? Thank you kindly.- Lynn Frumkin

I would recommend he go to Upper Woods Pond for trout. There is a dock for people with disabilities. The trout fishing is great from shore from opening day through the middle of June.
