Fish species in Aylesworth Creek Lake

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Aylesworth Creek Lake covers 9.88 acres in Lackawanna County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Aylesworth Creek Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Aylesworth Creek Lake

Because Aylesworth Creek Lake is only 9.88 acres, a careful bank-by-bank approach is more useful than constant moving.

Fish and Useful Baits at Aylesworth Creek Lake

Fish reported from Aylesworth Creek Lake include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Brook trout are also stocked in Aylesworth Creek Lake.

Bass

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Aylesworth Creek Lake. Smallmouth at Aylesworth Creek Lake are better matched with tubes, grubs and crayfish-colored crankbaits on rock or clean points.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Aylesworth Creek Lake should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Aylesworth Creek Lake bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Aylesworth Creek Lake should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Walleye and Larger Predators

Low-light walleye fishing on Aylesworth Creek Lake calls for shallow crankbaits, while daylight favors jigs on deeper structure.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Aylesworth Creek Lake

Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on Aylesworth Creek Lake. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Aylesworth Creek Lake that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Aylesworth Creek Lake

Spring at Aylesworth Creek Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Aylesworth Creek Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Aylesworth Creek Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
