OCTOBER
Brown Trout
Lycoming Creek
This Lycoming County creek is stocked with browns and rainbow trout. Try the riffles upstream of Powys Curve downstream to the bridge on Old Route 15 near Haleeka. The creek is another Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only area.

Take Route 15 north from Williamsport. Exit at Cogan Station. Take Lycoming Creek Road (old Route 15) north to Route 14 north. Fish from Hepburnville to Trout Run.

Sauger
Monongahela River
The Monongahela has an excellent population of sauger, muskies and walleyes. Target warmwater discharges near power plants. Live bait takes the larger fish here.

Coho Salmon
Elk Creek
This Lake Erie tributary has big coho salmon, including a lunker caught in 2005 that weighed 9.15 pounds.

From Sept. 5 until opening day of trout season, all Lake Erie tributaries except for Walnut and Elk creeks north of Route 5 are closed to fishing from 10 p.m. until 5 a.m. Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission access is about two miles west of the intersection of state routes 5 and 18 on the left bank.

NOVEMBER
Northern Pike
Lake Marburg
This southwestern York County lake consistently produces note-worthy pike. Northern pike are loners that ambush fish, frogs, tadpoles, crayfish, leeches and large aquatic insects.

There is a 20-horsepower motor limit for outboards here. A marina is two miles east of Hanover on state Route 216 inside Codorus State Park.

Brown Trout
Youghiogheny Lake
This 2,800-acre lake is controlled by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The Youghiogheny and its tailwaters offer excellent trout fishing. Keep in mind that depths can change throughout the year.

Commission access may be found four miles west of Addison off U.S. Route 40 or one mile west of the U.S. Route 40 bridge.

Tiger Muskies
Lake Holman
This Perry County lake has all the typical game fish species, but tiger muskies offer anglers a change of pace. Only non-powered or electric-powered boats are allowed on Holman, which is off Route 34 in Little Buffalo State Park.

DECEMBER
Bluegills
Keystone Power Dam
The Keystone Power Company owns this 1,000-acre lake, but PFBC fishing regulations apply. The impoundment has a good population of bluegills and yielded the current state-record fish.

Try teardrop jigs with grubs or wax worms. Water levels on this lake change without warning -- so be careful on the ice! Several parking areas along Route 210 offer access for hardwater anglers.

Walleyes
Mauch Chunk Lake
This 330-acre flood-control lake in Carbon County is a hotspot for walleyes and perch. Bluegills and pickerel are also plentiful.

From Route 902 near Summit Hill, turn onto state Route 3012. Launch B is 1.3 miles from the intersection. The main park entrance is three miles away.

For Launch A, take PA Route 209 in Jim Thorpe, turn onto Broadway-Lentz Trail and keep on for 3.6 miles.

Northern Pike
Glendale Lake
This 1,640-acre lake lies in Prince Gallitzin State Park in Cambria County. There may be open water on the main body of the lake this month, but its secluded coves should provide good ice-fishing. Bass, muskies, crappies, bluegills and perch are also common here.

The park is north of Route 22 in Ebensburg. For current ice conditions, call the park office at (724) 428-4254.
