Historic Marietta House

Welcome to your riverside fishing getaway along Pennsylvania’s legendary Susquehanna River—one of the top freshwater fisheries in the eastern U.S. Known for its shallow, rocky flows and rich biodiversity, the Susquehanna is a bucket-list destination for serious anglers chasing both trophy flathead catfish and hard-fighting smallmouth bass. This stretch of river offers easy access to prime fishing water, with boat ramps, wade-in spots, and islands within minutes. Whether you're targeting monster cats after dark or floating the river for bronzebacks at dawn, this property puts you right in the heart of the action.

Flathead catfish here are no joke—many anglers come specifically to battle these freshwater giants that regularly exceed 40 pounds. The warm months of late summer and early fall are peak season, especially during overnight sessions. Fish live bait rigs near deep holes, bridge pilings, or submerged timber for your best shot at a true river monster. During the day, the Susquehanna shines for its exceptional smallmouth bass fishery. Expect non-stop action on topwater lures, Ned rigs, tubes, and crankbaits as you work rocky points, riffles, and current seams. These fish are aggressive, powerful, and plentiful—ideal for both fly and conventional anglers alike.

After long hours on the water, kick back in a clean, comfortable home base that caters to fishermen. There’s ample space for gear, boat trailer parking, and even a fish cleaning station to prep your catch. You'll be just minutes from bait shops, gas, and local tackle stores stocked with the right gear for Susquehanna success. Whether you're here for a weekend flathead mission or a week chasing bronzebacks with your buddies, this spot offers everything a serious angler needs—right on the doorstep of one of the finest river fisheries in the country.
