• Where to Fish on Synder Pond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Across Lehigh County, recorded fish include brown trout, largemouth bass, bluegill and yellow perch. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Synder Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 72°F, the coldest about 26°F. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That is the shape of the year on Synder Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. 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. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Alvern Pond at 2.1 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Synder Pond as something to verify.
