Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - November/December 2013 - 23
In many frozen lakes, trout like to run the first drop-off or deeper water in the
shoreline vicinity.
PFBC website: www.fishandboat.com
I-380 have both wild and stocked trout.
Look for the deeper, boulder runs and
moving pools to produce the best action.
Once again, a sunny day that warms the
water a few degrees can initiate good times.
You have to be very careful fishing the
Lehigh River, Carbon County. Before snow
starts clogging the shores, the section from
Bowmanstown to Walnutport can produce
some of the largest trout on the east side of
the state. Look for areas above and below
islands or around jagged shoreline outcrops
and points to hold trout. When wading, the
numbers of fish you catch probably won't be
significant. However, if you're looking for
one fish that rips into your backing or zings
line from your spinning reel, this is the river
and section to visit.
Saucon Creek in Hellertown is a
tributary to the Lehigh River, and it is
often productive and suitable for wading
at this time of the year. Many of the Class
A waters in the southeast corner also offer
fine late-season Brown Trout fishing.
Moving onto frozen waters, the chances
of encountering sheets of ice in December
are better in the northeastern reaches than in
the southeast corner.
A couple of lakes around the Scranton/
Wilkes-Barre area are my favorites for
getting a jump on the ice season. And, if
the ice doesn't come in December, there's
always January.
For starters, I'm partial to Lackawanna
Lake, Lackawanna County. At 198 acres,
this state park lake has good access sites
that put you directly into the trout zone.
When considering many frozen lakes,
don't make the mistake of fishing too deep
or too far from the shoreline to target trout.
Lackawanna Lake is a good example. Many
anglers set up in the channel that runs on
the upper end of this impoundment. But,
in many lakes, trout like to run the first
drop-off or deeper water in the shoreline
vicinity. Heading out to the channel on
Lackawanna Lake is often walking right
over the trout.
When an area of a lake has a gradual
drop into deeper water, like Lily Lake,
Luzerne County, some holes need to be
drilled well beyond the shoreline to catch
the slowly circulating trout. The point is
each place has its idiosyncrasies, but don't
neglect the shallower waters for iced trout.
Lily Lake is a wide 160 acres with only
one public access on the lower part. The
