• Where to Fish on Drury Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Franklin County, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon, brown trout, rainbow trout and brook trout. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Anyone new to Drury Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 66°F and January near 15°F. Cold locks it up for a good stretch each year. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid April and starts locking again about early December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Drury Pond.

• Tackle & Baits
