• Where to Fish on White Pine Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Survey and observation records for DuPage County include bluegill, green sunfish, common carp and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. The shape of White Pine Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 74°F; by January the average is down near 21°F. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. Look for the thaw near mid March; the fishing lifts straight after. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about mid March until roughly mid December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. White Pine Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
