Fishing in the Poconos Mountains of Pennsylvania

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.

Avid anglers seek out professional guides to lead them to favored waters where trophy fish await and to help brush up on their skills and learn new techniques. You'll find a few of these guides listed here in our Poconos Pennsylvania Fishing Guide.
