• Where to Fish on Flynns Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Reported across Norfolk County: bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel, yellow perch and redfin pickerel. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Flynns Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This falls in or next to protected ground, so rules will be tighter than usual. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Danielson Pond, 0.8 miles away. Confirm before you fish Flynns Pond.
