Fish species in Tingley Lake

Tingley Lake covers 41.99 acres in Susquehanna County. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Tingley Lake, so neither should be estimated from a similarly named lake.

What to Expect at Tingley Lake

At 41.99 acres, Tingley Lake is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.

Fish and Useful Baits at Tingley Lake

Fish reported from Tingley Lake include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, walleye, and yellow perch.

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Tingley Lake largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover. A small paddletail or crayfish imitation fits the open, rocky water used by Tingley Lake smallmouth.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Tingley Lake crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Tingley Lake are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Tingley Lake are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Walleye and Larger Predators

Walleye at Tingley Lake can be approached with a jig and minnow, paddletail or trolled crankbait along a point or channel edge.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Tingley Lake

Let wind and water clarity choose the starting bank, then follow that bank until the bottom or cover changes on Tingley Lake. Then check the original creek route, the dam end and any point on Tingley Lake that reaches toward deeper water.

When to Fish Tingley Lake

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Tingley Lake fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Tingley Lake may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Tingley Lake fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
