A grey, even sky over the water, with air barely moving with the barometer flat. Tawny Pond should fish best around the deeper corner and inflow today. Expectations low today; if anything moves, it will be in the morning. Fish the best hour hard and keep the rest short. Autumn rewards covering water while the fish roam.

Frontenac County, Ontario, is where Tawny Pond sits. It lies 281 metres above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 2 hectares, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Our Frontenac County list holds plenty of bigger water. The town to know is Sharbot Lake, 39 km out. Tweed follows at 40 km, then Madoc at 41 km. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.
Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. County-wide records name pumpkinseed, bluegill and rock bass. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Tawny Pond that means starting tight and working out.
Expect July to average close to 19°C, with January the cold end at about -11°C. Winter shuts the surface down for months. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. The season on Tawny Pond rarely departs from it.
Public data does not answer the access question here. There is recorded parking some 370 m off. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Benny's Lake, 0.3 km away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Tawny Pond locally before you travel.
