Where to fish for Muskies in Southeast PA?
I am a Marylander and live about one hour from Pennsyvlania. I've been fishing for Tiger Musklellunge for twelve years, but the Maryland DNR is no longer stocking them (the law is preventing us from importing them from PA hatcheries). As hybrids (they do not produce) the Tigers will be completely gone in the very near future.
There are Natural Strain Muskellunge (BIG ONES) in the Potomac River, but my glass boat would get torn up fishing there. I recently put a 20 HP motor on my boat figuring I can fish Lake Marburg and other lakes in the southeast part of PA.
Looking for suggestions of other lakes fairly close to Maryland?
I've got the fever - thanks.
Some Southeast Pa Options
Nockamixon Lake has muskies,you can lanch at the state park.Nockamixon State Park is along PA 563, just off of PA 313, five miles east of Quakertown and nine miles west of Doylestown. The main entrances are along PA 563 and can be reached from PA 309 and PA 313, or from the north on PA 412.
There also is Marsh Creek and a little further away is Raystown Lake along the PA Turnpike toward Pittsburgh.
