Monahan Pond, Pennsylvania: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Monahan Pond belongs to Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania. Height above sea level is 1,690 feet. It covers about 6 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is a small entry by Susquehanna County standards. For a base, Binghamton sits 7 miles out. Syracuse sits 73 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Monahan Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Susquehanna County, recorded fish include brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Take Monahan Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 68°F; the cold one sits at 22°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. The lid usually goes in early April, which opens the strongest weeks of the year. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. The season on Monahan Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Should this one be busy, Meeker Lake is 1.1 miles off. Ask locally about Monahan Pond if anything is unclear.
