Great video man. Raystown Lake in Huntington county is definitely one you should visit. You can hit great spots of the juniata River while your there. Again, great video and thanks for your hard work.

These are all lakes from central Pennsylvania to western Pennsylvania. What about eastern Pennsylvania? Also, Raystown Lake is in central Pennsylvania and is one of the premier fishing lakes in the entire USA.

Yes sir I need to update it , Raystown is a Great Lake , top 5 for sure , unfortunately the boat traffic ruins it for me! I will update this and include a few lakes from out East as well.

Beltsville lake in Lehighton, PA. I absolutely love the lake. The stipper fishing is legendary. Also have a ton of different species in it. Raystown Lake is absolutely by far my favorite. The size alone is perfect for practice if you intend to try ocean boating. For a good weekend you can rent a house boat let alone bring your own vessel. Most forgotten lake in PA is Leaser Lake. It's like no one goes. Electric only and dam was repaired. Lots of weed cover. Monster fish in that lake. Love it because no horse play with other boaters. It's a quiet smooth lake that you can set out and slam fish all day. Great video. I definitely like to get out to 2 lakes you mentioned in the video.

Great list I grew up camping at Glendale year round. I have fished all 10 of the lakes.

Passport book, that’s awesome to know!!!!! Thank you. I hope I can buy one on Amazon

It's so great to hear something local. I am always looking for a place to sup fish.

Thanks for the tip. I moved to PA in 2013 and have been fishing primarily in Westmoreland County Love the ponds and lakes here though, I've caught 30 bass over 5 lbs in the last four years. Probably why I have not ventured far from home much. Tight lines!

I live in in Warren county and kinzua is by far one of my most frequent spots a great area is the tailwaters of the dam easy to lose tackle as only way to catch something is to grab worms or live minows weight the line down with egg sinkers about oz and a half is what I use so the current takes it a little before dropping all the way cast it about half way out the channel. Let it sit and you'll bang some big fish. Bring a drop net with about 30-40 feet of rope with it or you'll have a 90% chance of losing a fish. For fishing the resivoir don't fish in anyway high traffic areas. This is fished year round and I mean all year. If you're gonna fish high traffic area fish at night. But for fishing during the day go into the coves where everything can fill in drift wood and shit fish those areas you'll pound fish all day long and if you want walleye and pike just weight the line down cast as far as possible and let a worm or live minows sink with the weight have it roughly a foot and a half off bottom and wait for a fish to grab it. Works for me almost every single cast out there although I can wait hours till a fish takes baait

I really like the walleye fishing and crappie and perch and some night time cat fishing but I have an impatient 12yr old boy and he gets bored pretty quick if the bite is slow so a killer panfish spot or 2 is always really good to know also so we can at least get into some lip snatching anyhow hahaha. I really do appreciate the information as well as absolutely anymore good info you may be able to throw my way I'm really green to this place and I have a 20ft deck boat and we like to do a lot of camping as well and usually try to make a weekend of it all and last year the couple times I was there we just had a little spot with a fire ring on a crooked sloped bank that we tied up to the spot and it wasn't big enough to even pitch a tent just used it for the fire and slept on the boat and we also take our 100lb. Chocolate lab with us anytime we go and if you or anyone else have any good info on places to stay that we can get to from boat but yet maybe like a campground that we can have tents and vehicle and trailer and be able to take our dog with us and that isn't expensive to rent a good spot on the water and preferably around the lower dam area of the resivor as we usually just launch and park at Wolf run marina but any help would be so much help as money is kinda tight these days with the income being abit slow right now but it really does seem like a really big and nice place just wish there were a lot more nice free shoreline camping spots in that area were you can actually set up some tents and whatnot but like I said I'm really pretty green to this resivor and don't really know a damn thing about the fishing and camping or really much of anything for that matter 😂 thank you very much once again for the information I really do appreciate it a ton and like I said anything else you can think of or let me know i would love to hear about it I'd really like to be able to go up there anyday and anytime of the day and reliably catch quite a few fish and possibly locate some really nice camping locations cheap or free is always best and of course dog friendly awesome info man much appreciated 👍

Northern pike fishing in pa is tough , although you can find rivers and lakes that will produce fish. Your best bet is to get of fish and boat website and look for the closest body of water near you. Lancaster is tough you may have to drive, you may have a better shot at pike and Musky too in the Delaware River. The Delaware water gap is really really good. Maybe good to look into.

I can’t give you my opinion from experience , but I have allot of info from guys that I talk to who does. First , fish and boat told me that it’s one of the best musky lakes in the state of pa. The numbers are high and the lake is thriving for all species. Second a guy I work with has caught two beautiful 40 inch class muskies out of there this year and a number of others. Third my buddy fished up there in the summer and the boat traffic frustrated him until he left. I’d fish it early and late seasons to avoid boat traffic and depending on what your chasing , I feel confident that the lake is healthy and should be considered a top lake in the state. I just haven’t fished it , but when I update this video , it may make my list.

Craig Nash , Raystown is easily a top ten if not top 3 lake... I just never fish it because of the pleasure boaters. I’m going to put out a breakdown on that soon. Yeah you could argue Raystown hands down because it’s the striper capital of pa in my opinion, I just can’t stand the pleasure boating and partying that goes on there...

Lake Erie is by far King. It's thee number one place in the world for walleyes. 5 pound Smallmouth are routine. 14-15 inch perch. Steelhead Lakers Crappie in Presque isle it's just a haven. Nothing touches it

Agreed!!! 100%

How about Memorial Lake or Lesser Lake. I'm new to the lakes and not sure how to fish. I usually fish Speedwell Lake, since it is 10 minutes from my house. My wife and I try to find new lakes in pa. to try some fishing. This is a great state for fishing.

When I redo this video Raystown will make it on 100% , my perspective has changed along with the lakes and I do not think I gave it a fair shake being that I don’t really target Striped bass. But it deserves to be on a top 10 list.

@@FishingPAwithRyanRead to be honest its such a vast body of water it would take you some time to figure it out. I understand it has alot of Muskies as well as a just a striper lake. Maybe not as much as some but, common sense tells me since its an apex type of fish it should eventually come into a better Muskie fishery over the years?

You could definitely argue Raystown for sure , it’s really a top striper fishery in the country. The only reason I do not have it on my list is because of the boat traffic , but yeah easily could be top three...
