Pinemere Lake Fishing Guide, Monroe County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Pinemere Lake sits within Monroe County in Pennsylvania. The surroundings are mixed woodland. Small at around 3 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. On size it sits at the modest end of our Monroe County list. The town to know is Tannersville, 3 miles out. For a city, Allentown is 29 miles off. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Pinemere Lake

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Records held for Monroe County cover brown trout, brook trout and bluegill. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Pinemere Lake the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 26°F to 71°F. A lid forms in a hard winter only. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Time your trip to Pinemere Lake by conditions rather than dates. Barometric swings often matter more than the calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Failing this one, try Trout Lake, 0.7 miles away. For Pinemere Lake in particular, ask before you travel.
