• Where to Fish on Round Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Fish documented in York County include brown trout, alewife, Atlantic salmon and blueback herring. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Read Round Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 69°F in July and bottoms out near 20°F in January. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Ice-out usually falls in early April, and the weeks after it fish hardest. The water is typically free of ice between early April and mid December. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Plan around that when you fish Round Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. For a change of water, Parker Pond is 1.7 miles distant.
