The PA Fish & Boat Commission stocked Eston Wilson Lake with more than 1500 rainbow trout. Remember that anglers 16 and older need a PA fishing license with a Trout Stamp to fish in the Lake.  You can purchase a license at Dick's Sporting Goods or at any K-Mart.

For more info about trout fishing click this link to the PA Fish & Boat site. Locally, bait and tackle is available at Pete's Bait just south of Chapman Supply in the 'notch' on Rt. 6.  Pete is a helpful guy and has spent his life encouraging kids to fish with their families!

The water quality at Eston Wilson Lake is tested and treated to control algae during the fishing season by Eco-Scientific Solutions, under contract to the abington Area Joint Recreation Board. See the latest water quality reports by clicking here.

Please remember to collect any bait containers and all trash within reach and toss in the garbage cans around the park. Fish bite best for neat anglers!
