Dell Lake Fishing near Tremont, Pennsylvania

  Dell Lake is a Schuylkill County water, Pennsylvania side. It sits at 902 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 3 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Schuylkill County. Tremont is the closest town at 2.8 miles. For a city, Allentown is 49 miles off. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Dell Lake

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Fish documented in Schuylkill County include brown trout, brook trout, bluegill and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. Dell Lake gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 71°F, the coldest about 26°F. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Time your trip to Dell Lake by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Should this one be busy, Beury Lake is 5.3 miles off. For Dell Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
