Best lake in PA for trout through the ice?
« on: Dec 03, 2018, 01:48 PM »
Hey guys! I was wondering if anyone had some good lakes or ponds to target trout at. My goal is to get some big trout this winter! Pic of some fat browns from Harveys Lake just after ice left us!

Walnut Creek boat launch...if you want to catch 8lb steelhead or bigger..PI bay is also good for steelhead...bit of a ride from your place

I’ll agree with ice rat. If your anywhere near Greensburg. Twin Lakes upper or lower are good bets. I target pan fish and have moved locations because of neucance trout. One time a few yrs ago, 8 drops, 8 trout in a matter of minutes.

 Some big browns get caught at the Wallenpaupack...  but they aren't common ... LOL


The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

If you’re fishing Harvey’s you must be in NEPA. Upper woods has become a favorite for trout, as is Merli Sarnoski and Duck Harbor.
Where's the FISH?!
