Time to learn the Lehigh River

[PAMonger]

Welp, After 11 years in an apartment that was 2 blocks from the Delaware River, I'm moving in 2 weeks... to an apartment that is one small parking lot away from the Lehigh.

They are 2 very different rivers. The Big D is a fast-moving very rocky river. The Lehigh is a slower, mud bottom river. Is anyone on here a Lehigh fisherman? I'd love to hear from you.

Have not fished it much but grew up fishing at riverview pier off 25th st. Great river for cattys and smallies. I plan to take my boat out there often for both this summer. For the most part that river is 4' deep about 4' out from shorelines and then is steady 11' in some areas. I know of a spot where it hits 23-24' but that's deepest I've found. What part of the Lehigh will you be fishing?

My spot will be just above the dam. I love catfishing. SMB are fun, but if you know better, PM me and I'd love to fish with someone else who knows the river.
