Kingsbury Pond, Massachusetts: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Kingsbury Pond lies within the bounds of Norfolk County, Massachusetts. The sea is 16 miles distant. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Start from Medfield, 0.8 miles down the road. South Boston is the closest city, 17 miles away. Within a short run: Danielson Pond sits 0.6 miles out, Jewells Pond at about 1 mile, Flynns Pond sits 1.3 miles out, Holt Pond at about 1.4 miles and June Pond sits 2.1 miles out. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Kingsbury Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Norfolk County records list bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel and yellow perch among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Anyone new to Kingsbury Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 71°F in July and bottoms out near 26°F in January. Whether it freezes depends on the year. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It sets the rhythm of the year at Kingsbury Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. Charles River Natural Valley Storage Area runs up to the bank here, which usually means extra restrictions. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Danielson Pond at 0.6 miles is the sensible second choice. The position on Kingsbury Pond is worth confirming on the day.
