Hallowood Lake Fishing in Monroe County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Look for Hallowood Lake in the Monroe County part of Pennsylvania. It stands 1,060 feet above sea level. Roughly 29 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Around 1.1 miles of margin, front to back. Nearest town is Parkside, 3 miles off. Allentown sits 37 miles out, and it is the nearest city worth the name. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Hallowood Lake

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Species logged across Monroe County include brown trout, brook trout, bluegill, largemouth bass and chain pickerel. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Hallowood Lake before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 69°F and January near 24°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Once it clears, about late March, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages suggest open water from about late March through to roughly late December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. That is the shape of the year on Hallowood Lake.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Pocono Highlands Lake sits 0.9 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Hallowood Lake in what we hold.
