Carlin Pond Fishing in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Carlin Pond lies in Susquehanna County, in Pennsylvania. Land around it is lake country bush. The water measures roughly 18 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Tunkhannock sits 11 miles from the bank. The big place round here is Allentown, 80 miles distant. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

Take Carlin Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 69°F and January near 23°F. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter locks it down, and early April brings it back. Averages place the thaw at early April and the freeze at late December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. The season on Carlin Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try White Pond, 2.6 miles away. Check the position on Carlin Pond before loading the car.
