Hamilton Lake is a reservoir in Pennsylvania, near Tioga County.
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.
Hamilton Lake covers 41.99 acres in Tioga County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Hamilton Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.
At 41.99 acres, Hamilton Lake is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.
Fish reported from Hamilton Lake include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch. Rainbow trout are also stocked in Hamilton Lake.
A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Hamilton Lake. For smallmouth bass on Hamilton Lake, keep a bottom-contact bait ready for points and channel edges.
Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Hamilton Lake crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Hamilton Lake take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Hamilton Lake.
Low-light walleye fishing on Hamilton Lake calls for shallow crankbaits, while daylight favors jigs on deeper structure.
Fish one protected section slowly before testing the windblown side, because the two banks can have very different water color on Hamilton Lake. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Hamilton Lake that reaches toward deeper water.
Spring at Hamilton Lake favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Hamilton Lake, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Hamilton Lake become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
