Summary

Best spots include the public pier itself and nearby rocky banks and inlets. Anglers commonly catch walleye, northern pike, smallmouth bass, catfish, and panfish. Spring and fall are prime for walleye and bass, while summer brings steady catfish and panfish action. Effective baits include nightcrawlers, minnows, crankbaits (for walleye/bass), and stink bait (for catfish). The pier is part of Wyalusing State Park, with easy parking and ADA access. No boat ramp here, but boaters can launch nearby at Wyalusing Beach or Glen Haven Landing.

Angling Safety Guidelines

Know the Regulations
Check local fishing rules, seasons, size limits, and license requirements to ensure legal and sustainable angling.
Handle Fish Responsibly
Use wet hands, minimize air exposure, and release fish gently to improve survival rates when practicing catch-and-release.
Choose the Right Gear
Match your rod, line, and tackle to the species and conditions to increase success and reduce unnecessary harm to fish.
Respect the Waterway
Avoid disturbing habitat, prevent bank erosion, and keep a safe distance from spawning areas to protect ecosystems.
Keep It Clean
Pack out all line, hooks, bait containers, and trash—discarded gear can injure wildlife and degrade waterways.
