Sun and Moon Times

The sun will be at it's highest point at . Today we have 13:0 hours of daylight. For shallow water fishing the twilight periods are often the most productive fishing times, especially on days when a major or minor time will coincide with twilight. In low light conditions predators have better cover for their ambush and often hunt in shallow water.

We can compare the current moon distance to it's minimum and maximum distance from earth and express that as proximity. A high proximity means the moon is closer to earth. At 50% it would be at it's mean distance. A high proximity causes big tides, currents and has a direct effect on increased bite times. A proximity greater than 90% indicates a super moon.

7 Day Fishing Weather

The weather plays an important role in fishing. Wind strenght and direction often determine where you can fish and where fish might be holding. Although high pressure is usually good for fishing, steep pressure changes often trigger feeding frenzies and are great times for fishing. Of course temperature has also a strong effect on fishing and comfort on the water. So make sure to cross check the weather forecast with the solunar fishing times to determine the best times to go fishing.

Fishing Overview Allentown

Allentown fishing is defined by the Lehigh River corridor and a network of productive tributaries like Little Lehigh Creek and Jordan Creek, plus nearby lakes such as Leaser Lake, Beltzville Lake (a short drive north), and local ponds. This mix of cold, clear trout water and warm river habitat gives anglers year-round opportunity within minutes of downtown.

Trout are a prime draw in and around Allentown. Little Lehigh Creek is well-known for its limestone-fed flows that support wild brown trout alongside stocked fish. Focus on riffle-run-pool sequences, undercut banks, and deep bends. In spring, small spinners, 1/16 oz marabou jigs, and live minnows work well on spin tackle, while fly anglers score with size 16–20 nymphs, small caddis patterns, and midges. Low, clear summer water calls for light line (4–6 lb), stealthy approaches, and early-morning or dusk sessions.

The Lehigh River through Allentown fishes more like a classic eastern smallmouth and multi-species river. Target smallmouth bass around rock seams, eddies below bridge pilings, and current breaks formed by boulders. In spring and fall, 3–4" soft plastic minnows, tubes, and small crankbaits fished along the bottom are consistent producers. During summer, work topwater poppers and walking baits across slower edges at first and last light. Walleye hold in deeper holes and below dams; jig-and-minnow combos or slowly retrieved swimbaits just off the bottom are effective, especially in low-light periods.

For still-water fishing near Allentown, area lakes and reservoirs provide largemouth bass, panfish, and in some waters, muskies and chain pickerel. Key bass structure includes weedlines, laydowns, riprap, and points. In spring, target shallow coves with weightless soft plastics and finesse jigs. As water warms, shift to deeper edges with Texas-rigged worms, Carolina rigs, and medium-diving crankbaits. Panfish such as bluegill, pumpkinseed, and crappie are readily caught around docks and submerged brush using small jigs tipped with soft plastics or worms under a float, an excellent option for families.

Carp and catfish provide reliable action throughout the warmer months. In the Lehigh and local ponds, chum lightly with canned corn for carp, then present a simple hair rig or kernel on a small hook with minimal weight. For channel catfish, focus on deeper holes, current seams, and downstream of obstructions using cut bait, chicken livers, or prepared stink baits fished on a slip-sinker rig after dark.

Seasonally, late March through May brings peak trout and river smallmouth action as water warms but flows remain robust. Summer favors early and late windows, plus night fishing for catfish on the Lehigh. Fall is prime for big smallmouth and walleye as they feed heavily before winter, and clear, cold water also concentrates trout in deeper pools. Winter anglers can pick their spots on mild days, drifting small jigs and minnows slowly in the deepest, slowest runs.

Tactically, travel light and mobile in the creeks; cover water, making a few quality casts to each seam rather than camping in one spot. On the Lehigh, prioritize reading current—identify where fast water meets slow and present lures just inside the softer side of the seam. Downsizing line and lures in clear water, and matching your approach to flow levels and water temperature, will significantly increase success when fishing around Allentown.
