Pennsylvania Angler & Boater - November/December 2013 - 24

A sunny
day that
warms the
water a
few degrees
can initiate
good times
for fishing.

An angler inspects the Little Lehigh Creek, Lehigh
County, for feeding trout. A lot of the cold-season action
takes place in the Little Lehigh Creek's frothy waters.

lake bottom doesn't have much structure, and it's
certainly not as winter weedy as Lackawanna Lake.
So, finding trout is a challenge. But, the backdrop of
Penobscot Mountain makes this a place you want to
go, particularly at first ice. Both Lackawanna Lake
and Lily Lake are stocked in early October.
We know that big trout often come from big places
and Lake Wallenpaupack stands to this rule. Never
easy to find, and even harder to entice, these forearm
length trout of Lake Wallenpaupack are still worth
the effort.
All of my ice fishing for Wallenpaupack trout
has been on the upper third of the lake (southern
end), in the Ledgedale and Ironstone areas. Here,
trout run the main channel and the rising flats that
surround these channels.
I've had significant success dangling large shiners
below tip-ups and working 4-inch spoons and blade
baits on heavy jigging sticks. Fishing for trout in the
upper end is a place to practice patience. For perch
and more action, go to the lower end and work from
the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission access
area at Wilsonville. Don't forget this is moving water
beneath your feet.
Frozen or unfrozen, coldwater trout on the
eastern side of the state can be a hot time.

Saucon Creek, Lehigh and Northampton counties, is a tributary to the Lehigh
River and is often productive and suitable for wading at this time of year.
