A clean, cloudless night over the water, with a faint WNW drift with a settled glass. The fish at Telford Pond are likely to sit near gaps in the weed within a lob. The strongest window is the evening. Fish tidy and take what the day gives. The autumn feed-up is on; baitfish areas are the key.

Telford Pond sits within Reynolds in Manitoba. The surroundings are rolling bush. At roughly 2 hectares, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It is a small entry by Reynolds standards. 63 km away sits Kenora, the nearest town. Then Lac du Bonnet, 68 km, and Moose Lake, 70 km. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.
Our records hold no depth for this water. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Reynolds include northern pike, walleye and yellow perch. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Read Telford Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.
Typical July readings run about 19°C; by January the average is down near -19°C. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around late April. In an average year the thaw lands around late April and the freeze near mid November. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Telford Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
No access rule appears in what we hold. You can park 230 m away and walk in from there. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Ross Lake at 1.1 km is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Telford Pond in what we hold.
