• Where to Fish on Myers Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region include bluegill, smallmouth bass, yellow bullhead and largemouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Myers Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 69°F; by January the average is down near 23°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Break-up comes around early April, and the run that follows is short and strong. On average, early April opens the water and late December closes it again. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Myers Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. The nearest alternative is Kinney Pond, 0.6 miles out. Treat Myers Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
