Fishing at Perrins Marsh, Wyoming County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  In Pennsylvania, Perrins Marsh belongs to Wyoming County. The ground round it is mixed forest. It runs to roughly 85 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. The whole outline is near 1.4 miles, and most of it is walkable. It ranks high for size among our Wyoming County listings. For a base, Dallas sits 5 miles out. The big place round here is Allentown, 59 miles distant. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.

• Where to Fish on Perrins Marsh

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged across Wyoming County include smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, brown trout and brook trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Perrins Marsh gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 69°F and January reads 23°F. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from late March. Climate figures give an open season running late March to late December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Perrins Marsh runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Lake Manjo, 0.7 miles away. None of that is settled for Perrins Marsh in what we hold.
