Dear Board,
The wife and I will be vacationing in northern Clinton County next weekend. Barring some rather prolific rains virtually all stream fishing will be not worth it.
The wife loves to fish but she is a 95% bait dunker. Last year we went at about the same time and she had fun at Kettle Creek Lake. I did too, but I am looking for more options and looking for input about any other lakes worth exploring?
Within about an hour's drive more or less of the cabin we will stay in there are several other lakes to try. Little Pine is closest, but I've never fished in the lake. Sinnemahoning State Park is around an hour away but the park webpage says the lake is too low to launch a boat so that scares me. Lyman Run and Hills Creek are pushing the one hour range but certainly not above visiting.
The problem for me is I have no idea of the conditions of those lakes currently? We plan on taking kayaks but slogging through 20 yards of goo to get on the water isn't appealing to her.
I'm not looking for hot spots, just some input on where we might be able to launch a kayak and bother a fish or two?
As an alternative to lakes, can anyone give me an idea as to whether the Susquehanna is worth fishing between North Bend and Lock Haven? Again, I don't want spots that guarantee success. We are both just looking for places to get on the water and paddle about and hopefully catch a fish or two?
Regards,
Tim Murphy
