• Where to Fish on Frosts Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Frosts Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect August to average close to 17°C, with February the cold end at about -4°C. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan around that when you fish Frosts Pond.
