• Overview

  Beaver Pond is a Pike County water, in Pennsylvania. It sits in mixed forest. Small at around 12 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it.

A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Beaver Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Public occurrence data for Pike County names yellow perch, brown trout and bluegill. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. On Beaver Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 68°F, with January the cold end at about 23°F. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. Break-up comes around early April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Climate figures give an open season running early April to late December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. On Beaver Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is camping recorded roughly half a mile off. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. If the gate is shut, Marcel Lake at 0.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Beaver Pond before loading the car.
