Rogers Park Pond Fishing near Danbury, Connecticut

• Overview

  Rogers Park Pond is listed under Western Connecticut Planning Region, Connecticut. Height above sea level is 371 feet. About 5 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Supplies mean a trip to Danbury, 1.2 miles off. Bethel lies 1.5 miles off, New Fairfield another 6.4 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Rogers Park Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Western Connecticut Planning Region records list bluegill, brown trout, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and tessellated darter among the fish reported. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Rogers Park Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 72°F and January about 26°F. Whether it freezes depends on the year. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Rogers Park Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Public data has parking about 150 yards from the shore. The water borders Old Quarry Nature Center, so expect the reserve rules to apply. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Parks Pond sits 0.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the current arrangement for Rogers Park Pond.
