Fishing at Boyer Pond, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  This water sits in Lehigh County, Pennsylvania. The bank is 459 feet above sea level. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Lehigh County list. Some 2 miles away sits Laurys Station, the nearest settlement. Beyond it, Cherryville at 3 miles and Walnutport at 3.1 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Boyer Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Public occurrence data for Lehigh County names brown trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Boyer Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 73°F, with January the cold end at about 27°F. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Boyer Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Frey Pond, 2.1 miles out. None of that is settled for Boyer Pond in what we hold.
