Lake Weiss Fishing in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Lake Weiss sits within Lebanon County in Pennsylvania. The setting is mixed woodland. Surface area runs to about 7 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is low-lying compared with other Pennsylvania water we list. For supplies, Fredericksburg is 3.2 miles out. Allentown is the closest city, 52 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Lake Weiss

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Records held for Lebanon County cover bluegill, white crappie, brown trout and largemouth bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Take Lake Weiss a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 73°F and January about 28°F. Some winters cap it and some do not. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It holds true on Lake Weiss more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. If the gate is shut, Lake Strause at 0.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Where Lake Weiss is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
