Nestled along the scenic shores of Raystown Lake, Aitch, Pennsylvania, is a premier freshwater fishing destination renowned for its diverse aquatic ecosystem and year-round angling opportunities. This 8,300-acre reservoir teems with trophy-worthy species, including hard-fighting striped bass—regularly stocked by the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission—alongside smallmouth bass, walleye, lake trout, and elusive muskellunge.
Spring transforms Aitch into a striper hotspot, with shallow areas near Seven Points buzzing with activity, while lake trout emerge in mid-May. The Aitch Public Fishing Pier and shoreline access points offer excellent bank fishing, particularly for crappie near Shy Beaver Creek. For boat anglers, the Aitch boat ramp provides direct access to prime timber-rich upper-lake territories where muskies patrol deep creek channels.
Beyond the impressive variety of fish, Aitch’s well-maintained facilities—including picnic areas and sheltered coves—create an ideal base for multi-day fishing adventures. Whether trolling for trophy stripers in open water or flipping jigs for bass in submerged timber, Aitch delivers exceptional freshwater action just minutes from Marklesburg.
