It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Fish Greenwater Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 67°F, with January the cold end at about 19°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. From about mid April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. The season on Greenwater Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Recorded parking is half a mile off, far enough to travel light. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Higley Brook sits 1 mile off and takes the overflow. Confirm access to Greenwater Pond locally before you travel.
