Lake Jamie covers about 48 acres in the Northeast PA (Poconos) region. Anglers here mostly fish for largemouth bass, bluegill, black crappie, channel catfish; yellow perch, chain pickerel are also on record. The nearest other mapped waters on PiscaMaps are Lake in the Clouds and Lake Russell.

Night fishing: No statewide night-fishing closure in Pennsylvania on most waters; stocked trout waters have specific in-season closures around opening day and stocking, and some special-regulation areas post their own hours — check the current PA Fishing Summary.
Boats: The big reservoirs (Raystown, Pymatuning, Kinzua, Wallenpaupack, Arthur) take trailered boats via a state ramp, many with a horsepower or slow-no-wake limit; PFBC lakes are often electric-motor-only, and trout streams are wade/bank access.
Bank & bivvy camping: Camp at Pennsylvania state parks and forests along many of these waters (the PA Wilds streams, Raystown, Pymatuning, Ohiopyle on the Yough); PFBC access areas and State Game Lands frontage are day-use only.
Tackle: Statewide trout, bass and panfish limits apply unless posted; a large number of PA streams carry Delayed Harvest Artificial Lures Only, Catch-and-Release Fly-Fishing Only, Keystone Select Stocked Trout or Class A Wild Trout special regulations. Check the current PA Fishing Summary for this water.
Anyone 16 or older needs a Pennsylvania fishing licence — the resident annual is about $28, the non-resident annual about $61. A Trout Permit (about $15) is required in addition to fish for or keep trout, and a Lake Erie Permit (about $11) — or a combo — for Lake Erie and its tributaries. Pennsylvania residents 65 and older can buy a discounted senior lifetime licence; under-16 fish free. Buy from the PFBC at HuntFish.pa.gov. A Pennsylvania fishing licence covers this water — it's in the PFBC public-lake database.
