What to fish for...

Fishing for largemouth bass, channel catfish, white catfish, black crappie, white crappie, bluegill, pumpkinseed sunfish, white perch and yellow perch at Lake Ontelaunee in Pennsylvania.

On the outskirts of Reading, PA, Lake Ontelaunee is a 1,100-acre reservoir with unique fishing opportunities. While the lake has healthy populations of bass, crappie, catfish, sunfish and perch, boats are not allowed on the lake. So this is a great place to test your fishing skills while fishing from shore. When winter arrives and the ice becomes safe, enjoy ice fishing for bass, chain pickerel and northern pike.
