I am in Pennsylvania. I would appreciate any information on when the best time to go is. I have heard 2 ideas.

1) go in March or early April for spring post spawn action.
2) Go in November because the water will be up, the fish will come in.

Any experiences out there?

Thanks for any help,

Much appreciated.

I'm guessing because I've never been there but I would think that you would have missed the spawn by March, much less April?

i've fished a few lakes near the border, and that far south the spawns were a little earlier than most places.I would think mid feburary to mid march would be best for a spawn bite and starting around mid to late october starts the fall frenzy.

I have fished this lake several times in the past. In fact I am headed there next week to fish on the full moon which I have found to be the best spawning perid overall. Of course all this can change with weather or water levels. I can remember going down there around this time several years ago and having fishing you could only dream about ( 100+ days with many over 7 and 8)only to return the next year and struggle to catch a limit during the same time.
My advice is any where from Jan through March is a good time with the variables of lake levels and weather patterns really more of a factor to contend with.
I love the lake and would highly recommned it but it is not as easy as a trip to El Salto or Hiutes and certainly more unpredicatble. I keep getting drawn back by the wildness of the place as well as the chance to catch a real monster.
If I can help in any way let me know.
