Nichecronk Pond Fishing Guide, Pike County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Nichecronk Pond stands in Pike County, Pennsylvania. Everything around it is mixed forest. It measures about 37 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. The bank runs about 1.2 miles all the way round, so one visit can cover most of it. Nearest town is Birchwood Lakes, 1.6 miles off. The nearest city of size is Paterson, 47 miles away. The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Nichecronk Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Pike County records list yellow perch, brown trout, bluegill, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. At Nichecronk Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 68°F; the cold one sits at 23°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early April. Ice usually gives way near early April, and forms again about late December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Expect Nichecronk Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Woodpecker Lake, 0.8 miles away. Nothing on Nichecronk Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
