Bull Run Fishing in York County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  You will find Bull Run in York County, Pennsylvania. The surface lies 226 feet up. By elevation it sits in the lower part of our Pennsylvania listings. The closest town, Wrightsville, is 5.3 miles away. Beyond it, Columbia at 5.3 miles and Windsor at 6.1 miles. If this one is busy: Cabin Creek Reservoir within 5.4 miles, Mud Lake roughly 7 miles, Otter Creek within 7.6 miles, Kehms Lake roughly 10 miles and Lake Redman within 13 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Bull Run

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Slack water behind an obstruction is worth more than open current. Flow decides everything here: read the seams before you cast. Open biodiversity records for York County list bluegill, largemouth bass and walleye. The county list is broader than any single water. On Bull Run the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 74°F, with January the cold end at about 30°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That shapes the year on Bull Run. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The map shows no ramp or car park nearby, so this is a walk-in water. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Cabin Creek Reservoir at 5.4 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Bull Run in what we hold.
