Crappie
Crappie fishing near Glendon, PA, can be quite productive if you know where to look. While the Bushkill Creek itself isn't ideal for crappie, nearby Lake Nockamixon is a fantastic option. Spring, particularly during the pre-spawn period (April-May), is prime time, as crappie congregate in shallower waters near structure. Focus on areas with submerged trees, brush piles, and docks. Small jigs and minnows are the go-to baits. A local tip: Nockamixon can get crowded, especially on weekends. Consider fishing during the week or exploring some of the less-trafficked coves. The crappie in Nockamixon are known to be decent size, with some exceeding 12 inches. Remember to check the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission regulations for creel limits and size restrictions. Access to the lake is available via multiple boat ramps and shore fishing locations, but a boat will allow you to cover more ground and find those hidden crappie honey holes.
