Current Fishing Weather
Wind Speed and Direction
Wind Direction:
Wind Speed:
Wind Direction and Speed are one of the most important aspects for choosing a fishing spot. An offshore wind can help land-based anglers with longer casting distances, while an onshore wind will make kayak fishing safer. Often fish will also move to certain feeding areas depending on the wind direction. Check out the long term wind forecast at the charts below.
Fishing Barometer
Atmospheric Pressure:
Change since midnight:
Trend for next 6 hours:
Atmospheric or Barometric Pressure affects fish activity. The best fishing can be had on a rising barometer and also the time just before it is falling. A steady barometer in the higher ranges can also mean good fishing. A falling or low barometer reading without much change is usually not a very good time for fishing.
UV Effect on Fishing
As a rule of thumb, the higher the UV index, the deeper fish will move. Shallow water fishing is best done at times with a low UV index. When the UV is high, stick to early mornings, late evenings and shaded areas. The effect is less noticable in deeper water, but often a higher UV index can produce good results in the deep.

Fishing Overview Easton
Easton, PA fishing is defined by its rivers. The Delaware River and Lehigh River meet in the heart of town, creating a mix of deep channels, rocky runs, and slower pools that hold smallmouth bass, walleye, catfish, and seasonal runs of American shad and striped bass. Add in nearby trout-stocked streams and small lakes and you have a compact, highly productive fishery that can be worked efficiently from shore, wading, or small craft like kayaks and jon boats.
From late March through early May, Easton’s most famous bite is the American shad run in the Delaware. Focus on current seams and deeper runs below the confluence, casting shad darts and flutter spoons quartering downstream. Use light fluorocarbon leaders and vary your sinker weight until the dart ticks bottom every few seconds. Early and late in the day often produce the steadiest action, especially on slightly stained water following a minor rise.
Smallmouth bass are the backbone of Easton’s warmwater fishing. In spring, target rocky shorelines, eddies, and the heads and tails of riffles with 3–4 inch soft-plastic tubes, ned rigs, and small suspending jerkbaits. As summer sets in and river levels drop, shift to early-morning and evening sessions. Work deeper mid-river rock piles and ledges with finesse jigs, drop-shot rigs, and topwaters like walking baits or poppers when light is low. A simple 1/8–1/4 oz tube on 8–10 lb line will catch fish all season in both the Delaware and lower Lehigh.
Walleye and striped bass patrol the deeper channels and current breaks around Easton. For walleye, concentrate on dusk and after dark, dragging jig-and-minnow style plastics or slowly crankbaiting along bottom contours. Striped bass and hybrids move through in spring and fall—cast medium-sized swimbaits, bucktail jigs, or lipless crankbaits near the confluence and along sweeping outside bends. Keep presentations tight to current edges where bait naturally funnels.
Catfish anglers will find consistent action around Easton, especially in summer. Channel catfish stack in slower holes, eddies, and along inside bends; flathead catfish prefer boulder fields, ledges, and submerged timber. Use slip-sinker rigs with cut bait or live sunfish, positioning baits just off the primary current. Night fishing is particularly effective; anchor above a hole and fan-cast several rods to cover different depth zones.
For family-friendly fishing, the Easton area offers ample panfish and carp opportunities in slower backwaters, canals, and nearby ponds. Simple float-and-worm setups take bluegill, pumpkinseed, and rock bass all summer. Carp roam quiet runs and slackwater behind islands; chumming lightly with canned corn and fishing hair rigs or simple single-corn hook baits will produce powerful runs on medium spinning gear.
Trout anglers should look to local stocked creeks and small lakes within a short drive of Easton. Early-season trout respond well to inline spinners, small spoons, and dough baits; as pressure increases, scale down to single salmon eggs, small nymphs under indicators, and 2–4 lb leaders in clear, low water. Focus on undercut banks, deeper pools, and riffle-to-pool transitions for holdover fish through late spring.
Across seasons, success around Easton comes from reading current and structure. Target seams, rock piles, depth changes, and confluences, adjust to water level and clarity, and carry a compact kit of jigs, soft plastics, and a few hardbaits. With mobile tactics and attention to river conditions, anglers can stay on quality fish nearly every month of the year.
