• Where to Fish on Clark Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Norfolk County, recorded fish include bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, yellow perch and redfin pickerel. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Clark Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 72°F at the top of summer and 26°F at the bottom of winter. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. The season on Clark Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. A car park lies 150 yards away, so the walk in is short. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. Clark Pond Reservoir covers this ground, which means extra rules to check. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Should this one be busy, Diamond Pond is 0.4 miles off. Nothing on Clark Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
