Anybody live near KoP? I'm relatively new to the area and don't know any good spots for fishing. Mostly targeting smallies/largemouth. I don't own a boat, so am limited to places where there's bank access. However, would also like to know areas where bank fishing is difficult just for the sake of knowing.

Thanks!

I'm up in Carbon County so I cannot help. Question though, are you looking for a place to bank fish or boat?
Welcome to Eastern PA!

The skuylkill river runs through there

Sorry, forgot to mention: I don't own a boat or kayak, so I'm limited to bank fishing for the time being.

I walked along the trail that runs through Valley Forge and wasn't able to find any decent openings in the trees to cast from unfortunately. There is a boat ramp under the Betzwood Bridge, but I don't own a boat.

Yea I'm not too familiar with what's down there besides the rivers. I'd check Google Earth and see if you see any bigger bodies of water near you to give you a perspective on what's around your area.

North maybe an hour in quakertown you have lake nockamixon. About the same time west, marsh creek and maybe hopewell. These are the lakes that I can think of that are semi near kop.

I live relatively close to you, in West Chester. I fish all around here and fish out of a hobie outback kayak (I am on the Hobie fishing team thanks to French Creek Outfitters who sponsor me. I have a spare Hobie Outback kayak so if you are interested I can take you out and show you some places to fish.
