Beaver Meadow Pond in Susquehanna County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Beaver Meadow Pond is one of the Susquehanna County waters in Pennsylvania. It sits at 1,237 feet above sea level. It covers about 20 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Start from Montrose, 14 miles down the road. It is 85 miles to Allentown, the nearest city. You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Meadow Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Susquehanna County records list brown trout, brook trout and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The near bank of Beaver Meadow Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 23°F to 69°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late March. Averages place the thaw at late March and the freeze at late December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Beaver Meadow Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Mill Creek Reservoir, 2.6 miles out. Ask locally about Beaver Meadow Pond if anything is unclear.
