Grassy Pond, Pennsylvania: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Grassy Pond in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The surroundings are mixed forest. At 13 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Glen Lyon lies 8.4 miles from the water. For a city, Allentown is 58 miles off. If this one is busy: North Lake within 1 mile, Sylvan Lake just 1.5 miles, Harris Pond within 1.7 miles, Osborn Culver Pond just 3.2 miles and Lake Silkworth within 3.9 miles. It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Grassy Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Species logged across Luzerne County include brown trout, brook trout and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Grassy Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 69°F and January near 23°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Once it clears, about late March, the fishing comes on quickly. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late March until roughly late December. Look to early summer and the first cool weeks of autumn. Plan any trip to Grassy Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Parking is not close: half a mile from the bank, and no nearer option is mapped. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Failing this one, try North Lake, 1 mile away. Check the position at Grassy Pond before loading the car.
