• Where to Fish on Three Rivers Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. At Three Rivers Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach. Slack water beside moving water is always worth a look.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give August about 16°C and February about -5°C. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near late April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around late April and starts locking again about late December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Three Rivers Pond fishes to that pattern most years.
