• Where to Fish on Green Island Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Survey and observation records for Norris Point include brook trout, Arctic staghorn sculpin, bull-rout and longhorn sculpin. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read Green Island Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 14°C and February about -12°C. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. After mid May the shallows warm and the fish move up. Ice clears near mid May and comes back about mid November in a typical year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. It sets the rhythm of the year at Green Island Pond.
