The boundary is close enough to be worth checking before you fish.

• Where to Fish on Little Moxie Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. 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. Across Somerset County, recorded fish include Atlantic salmon, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. On Little Moxie Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 64°F for July and 11°F for January. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. Count the season from break-up, usually late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. It holds true on Little Moxie Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Access is unmapped, which usually means a farm track and a walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Ordway Pond, 3.3 miles away. Check the position at Little Moxie Pond before loading the car.
