Davenport Pond Fishing Guide, Worcester County, Massachusetts

• Overview

  Davenport Pond sits in Worcester County, out in Massachusetts. It sits at 866 feet above sea level. Around 30 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. With about 1.1 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. You are 3.5 miles from Phillipston. The nearest city of size is Worcester, 28 miles away. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Davenport Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Across Worcester County, recorded fish include bluegill, chain pickerel and largemouth bass. The county list is broader than any single water. On Davenport Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 68°F in July and bottoms out near 20°F in January. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Once it clears, about early April, the fishing comes on quickly. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Davenport Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Riceville Pond sits 1.4 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position at Davenport Pond before loading the car.
