Morewood Lake near Pittsfield: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Morewood Lake sits in Berkshire County, out in Massachusetts. The bank is 945 feet above sea level. The water measures roughly 20 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Start from Pittsfield, 1.7 miles down the road. It is 30 miles to Albany, the nearest city. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.

• Where to Fish on Morewood Lake

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Berkshire County records list brown trout, pumpkinseed and largemouth bass among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Fish Morewood Lake to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 68°F in July and bottoms out near 20°F in January. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. After early April the shallows warm and the fish move up. The season between ice runs from about early April to mid December. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Morewood Lake fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The paperwork position is blank for this one. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Silver Lake sits 1.8 miles off and takes the overflow. None of that is settled for Morewood Lake in what we hold.
