Graham Pond near Lisbon: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Graham Pond is set in Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region, Connecticut. This is farm and woodlot ground. This is a tiny water, and one quiet approach covers all of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region. Lisbon is the closest place, 2.5 miles off. Beyond it, Jewett City at 3.6 miles and Norwich at 4 miles. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Graham Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Records held for Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region cover bluegill, black crappie, striped bass, largemouth bass and chain pickerel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Graham Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 71°F, the coldest about 27°F. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. That shapes the year on Graham Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. You can launch from a ramp around half a mile away. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. The water sits inside or beside a nature reserve, so expect extra rules. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Blissville Pond sits 0.6 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Graham Pond if anything is unclear.
