• Where to Fish on Auger Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Across Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region, recorded fish include bluegill, smallmouth bass, yellow bullhead, largemouth bass and chain pickerel. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Auger Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 24°F in January up to 70°F in July. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks.

June through September is the settled part of the year, with the shoulders busier for fish. Time your trip to Auger Pond by conditions rather than dates.
