Tuxis Pond near Madison: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Tuxis Pond stands in South Central Connecticut Planning Region, Connecticut. It sits at 13 feet above sea level. It covers about 3 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Ground here is low by Connecticut standards. You are 0.1 miles from Madison. New Haven is the closest city, 17 miles away. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Tuxis Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. This is tidal water: the state of the tide decides where fish sit, so plan the session around it. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Work Tuxis Pond in sections rather than trying to cover it.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 29°F in January up to 72°F in July. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Anyone fishing Tuxis Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping shows parking within 130 yards. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. The water borders Tuxis Pond-A, 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. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Game Farm Pond sits 1.2 miles off and takes the overflow. Nothing here settles the position at Tuxis Pond for certain.
