These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. The shape of Fuller Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 69°F and January near 22°F on the long-run figures. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice-out usually falls in late March, and the weeks after it fish hardest. Break-up sits around late March on average, with the water closing again about mid December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. It holds true on Fuller Pond more years than not.
