Fishing at Penn-Dixie Pond, Northampton County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Out in Northampton County, Pennsylvania, sits Penn-Dixie Pond. The bank is 384 feet above sea level. About 18 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Few waters listed in Northampton County are bigger. Bath at 0.7 miles is the nearest place to stop. Allentown is the closest city, 9.9 miles away. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Penn-Dixie Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. County-wide records name brown trout, smallmouth bass, brook trout and rainbow trout. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Penn-Dixie Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 73°F, while January sits near 27°F. The season stretches long at both ends here. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. Penn-Dixie Pond runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Green Pond, 5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. None of that is settled for Penn-Dixie Pond in what we hold.
