Fishing Beaver Pond in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  In Pennsylvania, Beaver Pond belongs to Luzerne County. It lies 1,237 feet above sea level. The water covers some 48 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all.

A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Luzerne County cover brown trout, brook trout, largemouth bass and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Take Beaver Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 68°F, the coldest about 22°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. Average temperatures cross freezing around early April in spring and again near mid December in autumn. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan any trip to Beaver Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Public toilets are recorded roughly 0.9 miles off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lake Rose, 2.7 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Beaver Pond.
