• Where to Fish on Company Pond

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Treat Company Pond as a water to read rather than to cover. The first hour after arriving is often the quietest; settle and wait.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 43°F and July at about 81°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It sets the rhythm of the year at Company Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. If the gate is shut, Mallard Lake at 4.6 miles is the nearest alternative. For Company Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
