• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 26°F in January and 72°F in July. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. At Transylvania Pond the season follows that pattern closely. Barometer swings matter more than a degree or two.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The nearest car park is half a mile from the water. This sits inside Janie Pierce Park, so read the reserve notices first. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Radey Pond, 0.9 miles out. Check the position at Transylvania Pond before loading the car.
