The wilds and waters of the Poconos have been favored fishing grounds since the first American Indians settled here thousands of years ago. With miles and miles of shoreline, streams, creeks and rivers, the Poconos is impressive in its offerings for anglars.,
Families find fun at several of the pay lakes - where a catch is all but certain - and the many accessible lakes and rivers that can be seen from the roadside.
Serious anglers will find a number of treats in and out of the water - from the Orvis Fly Fishing School at Skytop Lodge to the historic Pennsylvania Fishing Museum on Pecks Pond.
Professional guides can help you locate that sweet spot where natives lay in wait for the right cast.
Poconos Fishing Guide
Within 2 hours of New York and Philadelphia, some of the nation's best fishing can be found. The State of Pennsylvania has, for decades, been heavily involved in wildlife conservation and management - the result is a spectacular environment of clear lakes and ponds, and free-flowing streams and rivers all well stocked with many species of native game fish.
Some of the very best fly fishing is out of the Brodhead Creek, the Lackawaxen River and the Upper Delaware River. Shad fishing from the upper Delaware River is a summertime favorite among avid sportsmen.
Many people enjoy fishing at commercial hatcheries, where you're almost guaranteed to catch yourself a good sized trout or bass - a particularly popular activity among families with children.
Listed below are many of the local resources available for fishing related endeavors.
