Clear Pond Fishing in Plymouth County, Massachusetts

• Overview

  Clear Pond sits within Plymouth County in Massachusetts. The bank is 3 feet above sea level. At roughly 18 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk. It lies lower than most water we list in Massachusetts. Start from North Lakeville, 1.1 miles down the road. Then Middleborough Center, 1.7 miles, and Middleborough, 2.2 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Clear Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name tessellated darter, striped bass, bluegill and swamp darter. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. At Clear Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 28°F in January and 72°F in July. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Expect Clear Pond to follow that timing. Overcast days spread the fishing across more hours.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Parking within half a mile means no long carry with tackle. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Failing this one, try The Reservoir, 0.7 miles away. Where Clear Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
