  Expect July to average close to 66°F, with January the cold end at about 12°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. Fish feed hardest at the start and the close of the open season. It sets the rhythm of the year at Oak Hill Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Pockwockamus Pond at 0.7 miles is the sensible second choice. What applies at Oak Hill Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
