Stowell Pond, Pennsylvania: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Stowell Pond lies within the bounds of Wyoming County, Pennsylvania. Height above sea level is 1,188 feet. At 13 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Some 14 miles away sits Tunkhannock, the nearest settlement. Towanda lies 17 miles off, Harveys Lake another 18 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Stowell Pond

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Survey and observation records for Wyoming County include smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, brown trout, brook trout and black crappie. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Stowell Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 24°F in January up to 70°F in July. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late March. The water is typically free of ice between late March and late December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan any trip to Stowell Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Little Pond, 0.5 miles away, makes the obvious fallback.
