• Where to Fish on Five Island Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Read Five Island Pond before you fish it and the day goes better. Small baits catch more; large baits catch bigger.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 14°C, the coldest about -11°C. The freeze arrives properly here and holds. After mid May the shallows warm and the fish move up. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid May and starts locking again about mid November. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. That shapes the year on Five Island Pond.
