• Where to Fish on North Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Northwest Hills Planning Region records list bluegill, brown trout and largemouth bass among the fish reported. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Read North Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 68°F and January at 21°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and mid December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That is the shape of the year on North Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Hoover Pond, 0.7 miles away.
