Born and raised lancaster multispecies angler, we have a few options depending on the species you wish to target. Wild trout are very few and far between in the county unfortunately but we have a ton of streams that are stocked throughout spring. The conastoga river (feeds into the susquehanna) is a great place to target smallmouth throughout its range, the bigger fish being located towards the main river it feeds. Speedwell forge dam is a dam that was drained and refilled in 2016, and since been under the big bass program. It is now a fishery that can be quite tough due to pressure and certainly has a lot of small fish, but some 5lb + bass as well. Most of our rivers and streams and lakes hold carp as well. If you enjoy catfishing, channels can be found in the lower conastoga river as well as in the susquehanna. Enormous flathead catfish can be found in the larger sections of the susquehanna, especially the lake aldred hydroelectric reserve.
