• Where to Fish on Beaver Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Species logged across Lycoming County include bluegill, yellow perch, walleye and pumpkinseed. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. The shape of Beaver Lake decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 24°F in January up to 70°F in July. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The lid usually sets by midwinter and gives way around late March. From about late March to around late December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. That is the shape of the year on Beaver Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Deer Lake, 5.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Beaver Lake.
