Torrey Pond, Massachusetts: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Look for Torrey Pond in Plymouth County, Massachusetts. Height above sea level is 52 feet. Small at around 19 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. Norwell is the closest town at 0.4 miles. For a city, South Boston is 17 miles off.

The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Torrey Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Built water gives depth close in, which suits a bank angler. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Across Plymouth County, recorded fish include tessellated darter, striped bass and bluegill. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Take Torrey Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 72°F and January near 28°F. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. The season on Torrey Pond rarely departs from it. Wind direction matters more than wind strength.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. A picnic site half a mile off makes this workable with family in tow. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Turner Pond is 0.5 miles off. Check the position at Torrey Pond before loading the car.
