Pennsylvania Fishing Report – October 13, 2022

Northeastern Region

Northwest Monroe, Southern Wayne and Western Pike Counties

With the cooler weather, and the commencement of hunting season, many people think this is the time of year fishing starts to slow down. However, the fall is one of the best times to fish. Along with fishing amongst the beautiful scenery that Pennsylvania has to offer, the PFBC also stocks several lakes and streams throughout the fall to provide anglers with ample opportunity of catching trout. Trout stocking schedules can be found at: PFBC Trout Stocking (pa.gov).

With trout fishing ramping up again, the recreational boating season is beginning to slow down. Most lakes, such as Lake Wallenpaupack, have seen a drastic decrease in recreational boaters with the cooler weather, but there are some brave souls that are braving the storm to get every day they possibly can out on the water. As a reminder to all boaters, we are getting closer and closer to the Cold Weather Wear period in Pennsylvania, which begins on November 1st, and runs until April 30th. During this period, all occupants of boats less than 16 feet in length as well as all canoes and kayaks are required to be wearing U.S. Coast Guard approved personal floatation devices.
