Flagg Pond Fishing Guide, Plymouth County, Massachusetts

• Overview

  Flagg Pond is a Plymouth County water, Massachusetts side. The setting is open valley on every side. On water this small, stealth matters more than range.

A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Flagg Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Survey and observation records for Plymouth County include tessellated darter, striped bass and bluegill. Records at this level tell you what is in the area. Flagg Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is somewhere to leave the car, 100 yards off. Conservation Area covers ground next to the water; its rules will apply on that side. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Cross Pond, 1.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm access to Flagg Pond locally before you travel.
