• Where to Fish on Luxton Lake

  Our records hold no depth for this water. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Sullivan County cover brown trout, brook trout and smallmouth bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Take Luxton Lake a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 23°F in January and 69°F in July. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around early April. Climate averages put the opening at about early April and the closing near late December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. At Luxton Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Clarks Pond is 0.7 miles off.
