Page Lake Fishing near Susquehanna, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Page Lake sits in Susquehanna County, out in Pennsylvania. The water sits 1,437 feet up. The water covers some 98 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. The full circuit measures close to 2.7 miles on foot. It ranks high for size among our Susquehanna County listings. Supplies mean a trip to Susquehanna, 6.2 miles off. Then Hallstead, 8.3 miles, and Montrose, 12 miles. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Page Lake

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Fish documented in Susquehanna County include brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass, yellow perch and brown bullhead. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Page Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 67°F and January at 21°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Ice-out usually falls in early April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. Plan any trip to Page Lake around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. For a change of water, Stump Pond is 0.7 miles distant. What applies at Page Lake may have changed since it was mapped.
