• Seasonal Patterns

  July is the warm end of the year here, averaging about 72°F, while January sits near 25°F. Fishing continues through most of the calendar, with quiet spells rather than closures. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. On Butterfield Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public data records the access here as private. You can leave the car about 170 yards from the water. The water sits inside or beside a nature reserve, so expect extra rules. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Horn Pond is 1.3 miles distant.
