Blue Mount Lake in Northampton County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Blue Mount Lake is listed under Northampton County, Pennsylvania. It sits at 705 feet above sea level. A pocket of water where every cast reaches cover. On size it sits at the modest end of our Northampton County list. Some 1 mile away sits Youngsville, the nearest settlement. For a city, Allentown is 13 miles off. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Blue Mount Lake

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Species logged across Northampton County include brown trout, smallmouth bass, brook trout and rainbow trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. At Blue Mount Lake the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 71°F, with January the cold end at about 26°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan any trip to Blue Mount Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Lake Tu Peek, 2.1 miles away. Treat Blue Mount Lake as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
