Fishing Auburn Reservoir in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Auburn Reservoir lies within the bounds of Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. This is farm and woodlot country. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. It is a small entry by Schuylkill County standards. West Hamburg is the closest place, 4.1 miles off. It is 31 miles to Allentown, the nearest city. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Auburn Reservoir

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Schuylkill County include brown trout, brook trout and bluegill. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Auburn Reservoir a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 73°F and January reads 27°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Auburn Reservoir. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. If the gate is shut, Stairway Lake at 3.3 miles is the nearest alternative. Treat Auburn Reservoir as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
