Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Noyes Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 8°F to 64°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. Hard cover is dependable here; it goes around late April. On average, late April opens the water and late November closes it again. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. The season on Noyes Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. No car park, ramp or path is recorded within easy reach of the shore. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Failing this one, try Durepo Pond, 1.4 miles away. The position on Noyes Pond is worth confirming on the day.
