Fishing Quaker Lake in Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Susquehanna County in Pennsylvania is where Quaker Lake sits. Around the bank it is pine and birch. It runs to roughly 122 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Bank access stretches around 1.9 miles in total. It ranks high for size among our Susquehanna County listings. The closest town, Conklin, is 7.1 miles distant. Further out sit Binghamton (8.4 miles) and Hallstead (9.1 miles). The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Quaker Lake

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Reported across Susquehanna County: brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. On Quaker Lake a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 68°F, with January the cold end at about 22°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Break-up comes around early April, and the run that follows is short and strong. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. It holds true on Quaker Lake more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Meeker Lake, 1.4 miles out.
