• Where to Fish on Lewin Brook Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Being tidal, the water moves twice a day, and the fishing moves with it. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged across Bristol County include bluegill, tessellated darter, pumpkinseed, swamp darter and chain pickerel. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. On Lewin Brook Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 28°F to 72°F. Mild ends to the year keep the season long. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It holds true on Lewin Brook Pond more years than not. The first frost of the year slows things for a few days.

• Tackle & Baits
