• Where to Fish on Morosani Pond Number 1

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Across Northwest Hills Planning Region, recorded fish include bluegill, brown trout, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed and black crappie. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish this water where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 70°F on average, January about 24°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late March. In an average year the thaw lands around late March and the freeze near late December. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. Plan around that when you fish this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. The nearest alternative is Morris Reservoir, 0.9 miles out. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
