Lehigh River Stands Among Pennsylvania’s Premier Trout Fishing Destinations
Flowing for more than 100 miles through Pennsylvania, the Lehigh River is the largest tributary of the Delaware River and one of the state's most celebrated trout fisheries. Its diverse waters range from small, easily waded headwaters near Gouldsboro to the renowned tailwater section below the Francis E. Walter Dam. This variety of habitats provides exceptional opportunities for anglers of all skill levels while showcasing some of Pennsylvania's most scenic river landscapes.
One of the river's highlights is the approximately 20 miles of gentle trout water that winds through glacial bogs and marshes near Gouldsboro, offering peaceful fishing in a unique natural setting. Farther downstream, the famous 35-mile stretch extending from White Haven to Walnutport is widely recognized for its productive trout fishery. These waters support healthy populations of wild brown and rainbow trout, making the Lehigh River a favorite destination for fly anglers throughout the year.
The river is equally renowned for its outstanding aquatic insect activity, which fuels consistent trout feeding across the seasons. Prime fishing typically arrives during May and June, when spectacular hatches of March Browns, Grey Foxes, Sulphurs, and Caddis draw trout to the surface. As summer progresses, Blue Wing Olives, Light Cahills, Isonychias, tricos, and summer Sulphurs provide continued action, while autumn brings excellent evening Sulphur hatches alongside dependable Caddis, Isonychias, and Blue Wing Olives.
Even outside the peak hatch periods, the Lehigh River continues to reward anglers. Streamer fishing with patterns such as Woolly Buggers, combined with sinking lines, can be productive throughout the year, often enticing larger trout in deeper runs and pools. With its remarkable insect life, thriving wild trout populations, and outstanding fishing opportunities across every season, the Lehigh River remains one of Pennsylvania's premier destinations for fly fishing and outdoor adventure.
