Egypt Meadow Lake Fishing Guide, Pike County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Egypt Meadow Lake sits in Pike County, out in Pennsylvania. It lies 1,713 feet above sea level. It runs to roughly 48 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Wallenpaupack Lake Estates is the closest town at 5.2 miles. Then Hemlock Farms, 8.5 miles, and Hawley, 8.5 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Egypt Meadow Lake

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Pike County records list yellow perch, brown trout, bluegill and smallmouth bass among the fish reported. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Egypt Meadow Lake fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 67°F, the coldest about 22°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early April. The lid tends to go about early April and return around late December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Expect Egypt Meadow Lake to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. Bruce Lake Natural Area covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Mill Brook Pond sits 1.1 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Egypt Meadow Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
