  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include redbreast sunfish, redfin pickerel, spotted sunfish, blackbanded darter and christmas darter. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. Read Cedar Meadow Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 80°F and January near 45°F on the long-run figures. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. At Cedar Meadow Pond the season follows that pattern closely. The hour either side of first light is rarely wasted.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Thiele Kaolin Mining Company Lake, 1.3 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Ask locally about Cedar Meadow Pond if anything is unclear.
