Fishing in Lancaster County
Anyone in Lancaster County fish? I live in Gap (17527). I'm looking to take my girlfriend's 4 year old son fishing this season, but, I don't know of any good spots. We're mainly looking for a pond with some sunnies it in or maybe a good brook or stream with some trout.
Anyone know of some good locations? Thanks!

Your in a prime location for ponds. Stop at every Amish farm and ask, I've almost never been told NO by the Amish. Us regular folks do turn you down quite a bit thought. Haven't fished any ponds since College, sorta miss it.

Re: Fishing in Lancaster County
There is a nice pond in new holland off of spruce st which is east of railroad ave. It is full of sun fish, carp and bass. you are almost guaranteed to catch something in this pond which will keep the little one from getting bored. other wise look for a trout farm which will also allow you to take home your catch after they filet the fish and pack it in ice...good luck. jack

Whoops! Guess I left that part out. I NEVER keep any fish, that's just me. And I certainly wouldn't ever think about keeping them from a private pond owned by an individual. Chances are they payed to have it stocked and have family members who fish it, so they won't want their fish to be taken.
If you like to keep your fish you could always ask while obtaining permission.

I'd make a day trip for some good fishing. I heard there's a lake up near Brickerville but I can't remember the name. I just wanna get a few sunnies or a couple trout to satisfy a 4 year old. If you're down for some fishing, let me know, and I can meet up with ya. I'm trying to figure out when I have some free time. I'm most likely gonna do this on a weekend.

Speedwell Lake - filled with sunfish, crappie, carp, and catfish - the bass fishing leaves something to be desired. Hammer creek flows from the spillway at the bottom of the lake and is stocked with trout, but also holds sunfish, carp, and smallies.
Let me know when your planning it, I could try to get out.
