Pomme de Terre Fishing
category : Fishing
Pomme de Terre Lake is known for its excellent fishing. Good strings of crappie, black bass, white bass, bluegill, and channel cat are commonly taken from the lake. Pomme de Terre Lake is also noted for its muskie fishing. Muskellunge have been stocked in the lake regularly since 1966 and fisherman have an opportunity to catch trophy-sized muskie.A special program at Pomme de Terre Lake is the fisheries habitat program. The program was initiated in the mid 1980's and since that time hundreds of cedar tree brush piles have been established. These brush piles provide smaller fish with loafing areas and cover from predators. They also provide excellent areas in which to fish. A map showing the location of these structures can be obtained by writing or calling the lake's USCOE office.
A fishing pier and marina are features on the Pittsburg side of the State Park.
