Fishing near Scranton University

Post by MikeB » Mon Mar 20, 2023 8:22 am

I am going to watch my niece play softball at the University and while I am there was planning to fish between games.

Anyone familiar with this area??

When are you going for the games?

Lots of stocked areas to fish up there but everything is closed for the most part until 4/1 the PA opener

use the county you want to fish and check the PA stocking schedules on there fish and game sites

The Lackawanna is probably the best Trophy trout river in the state just behind the West Branch. Not sure the laws as part of it is Trophy, and very little of it is stocked.

What Joe said. Giant browns that run you into submerged shopping carts and break you off.

. Some have said the biggest fish in the river are in exactly what you describe.
