Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The shape of Lord Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 72°F in July and bottom out at 28°F in January. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. The nearest mapped parking is half a mile away, so the last stretch is on foot. Mapping shows a jetty some half a mile off. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Comstock Pond, 0.6 miles away. For Lord Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
