Sharpe Pond Fishing in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania

• Overview

  Set in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, this is Sharpe Pond. The bank gives way to mixed forest. It measures about 38 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. A shoreline of some 1.4 miles keeps the choices simple. Tunkhannock sits 13 miles from here and is the nearest stop. Harveys Lake follows at 16 miles, then Towanda at 18 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Sharpe Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name smallmouth bass, largemouth bass and brown trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. On Sharpe Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 24°F in January and 70°F in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late March. Expect the water usable from around late March until roughly late December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. That is the shape of the year on Sharpe Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Negro Pond, 1 mile away. Check the current arrangement for Sharpe Pond.
