Flounder

Despite being located in central Pennsylvania, anglers targeting Flounder near Port Trevorton actually focus on the tidal portions of the Susquehanna River and its tributaries where saltwater influence extends. While not a traditional flounder destination, these brackish waters surprisingly hold flounder that migrate upriver. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, particularly late spring through early fall, when the water temperatures are favorable and baitfish are abundant. Focus your efforts on areas with structure like submerged timber or creek mouths. Local tip: Pay close attention to the salinity levels, as flounder prefer slightly higher salinity. Use a fish finder to locate deeper pockets and channels where flounder tend to congregate. Natural presentations such as live minnows or small crabs are often effective. Adjust your depth and presentation based on the temperature and current, as these factors can significantly impact flounder behavior.
