• Where to Fish on Redland Cove Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Salt or brackish and tidal: fish the flow, rest at slack, and watch the mud on a falling tide. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Work Redland Cove Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about -6°C in February to roughly 16°C in August. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late April. The season between ice runs from about late April to mid December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Expect Redland Cove Pond to follow that timing.
