• Where to Fish on Turner Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Fish documented in Norfolk County include bluegill, pumpkinseed, chain pickerel and yellow perch. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. On Turner Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 71°F and January at 26°F. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Expect Turner Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. The water sits inside or beside a mapped nature reserve, so expect additional rules. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. The nearest alternative is Memorial Pond, 0.9 miles out. Nothing on Turner Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
