• Where to Fish on Myer Huber Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Public occurrence data for South Central Connecticut Planning Region names bluegill, American eel, pumpkinseed, white sucker and yellow perch. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. At Myer Huber Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 28°F in January and 72°F in July. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It sets the rhythm of the year at Myer Huber Pond. The first frost of the year slows things for a few days.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is recorded parking some half a mile off. The water borders Meyerhuber Preserve, so reserve rules are likely to apply. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. For a change of water, Thody Pond is 1.1 miles distant. Ask locally about Myer Huber Pond if anything is unclear.
