• Where to Fish on Mule Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line.

Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Mule Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 63°F in July and bottom out at 8°F in January. A full turn of seasons, with the strongest sport on either side of summer. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly late April. Ice clears near late April and comes back about late November in a typical year.
