Fish species in Choconut Lake

Choconut Lake is a reservoir in Susquehanna County, but a dependable surface-area figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Choconut Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Choconut Lake

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Choconut Lake, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Choconut Lake

Fish reported from Choconut Lake include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

For Choconut Lake largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Choconut 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 Choconut Lake bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Choconut Lake should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

Channel catfish in Choconut Lake take cut bait, nightcrawlers and prepared bait on a slip-sinker rig.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Choconut Lake

Pick one kind of cover and fish it carefully, then compare it with a second cover type before moving far on Choconut Lake. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Choconut Lake that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Choconut Lake

On Choconut Lake, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Choconut Lake is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Choconut Lake, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
