Telshaw Pond in Wayne County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Telshaw Pond sits within Wayne County in Pennsylvania. The country round it is lake country bush from end to end. The water covers some 29 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. Nearest town is Waymart, 4.5 miles off. Carbondale is 5.6 miles away, with Mayfield at 5.9 miles. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Telshaw Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Records held for Wayne County cover yellow perch, bluegill and largemouth bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Take Telshaw Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 67°F on average, January about 21°F. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Look for the thaw near early April; the fishing lifts straight after. Open water usually runs from early April until about mid December. June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Telshaw Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Lake Quinn at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Telshaw Pond for certain.
