• Where to Fish on Spahn Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Public occurrence data for Western Connecticut Planning Region names bluegill, brown trout, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and tessellated darter. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Spahn Pond repays a walk before the first cast.
