• Where to Fish on Moore Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Moore Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance. A steady ripple beats flat calm on most days.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 81°F and January reads 50°F. There is no cold season worth the name. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Moore Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out. Long dry spells drop the level and concentrate them.
