You are close to a county edge here; who manages the access can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Lily Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Charlotte County cover Atlantic salmon, coalfish and alewife. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Lily Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put August at about 18°C and January near -6°C. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and mid December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. It sets the rhythm of the year at Lily Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. You can leave the car about 390 m from the water. Mapping shows a picnic spot within 590 m. A toilet block sits 880 m away. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lake Glensevern at 0.3 km is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Lily Pond.
