• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year August sits at 15°C and February at -6°C. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Ice-out usually falls in late April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. From about late April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. On Grey Rock Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. Trout here take small spinners, spoons and, where fly water allows, a nymph or dry. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Green Rub Pond at 0.8 km is the sensible second choice. Signs at Grey Rock Pond carry more weight than any list.
