Corner Pond, Connecticut: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Set in Western Connecticut Planning Region, Corner Pond is a Connecticut water. The surface lies 758 feet up. The water measures roughly 5 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. The closest town, Putnam Lake, is 1.7 miles distant. It is 21 miles to North Stamford, the nearest city. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Corner Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name bluegill, brown trout, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and tessellated darter. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. At Corner Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 25°F in January and 71°F in July. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Corner Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows a jetty some 90 yards off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Sterns Pond is 1.2 miles off. Treat access at Corner Pond as something to verify.
