• Where to Fish on Brown Pond

  Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Take Brown Pond a stretch at a time. Inside 15 miles the count comes to over twenty, and inside 30 miles, dozens.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 81°F and January near 47°F. The awkward stretch is midsummer, not midwinter. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. That is the shape of the year on Brown Pond. Falling water concentrates fish into the deeper parts.
