• Where to Fish on Weeks Pond

Survey and observation records for Barnstable County include striped bass, alewife, tessellated darter, blueback herring and American eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Read Weeks Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 29°F to 71°F. The freeze here is occasional rather than annual. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Plan around that when you fish Weeks Pond. Spring warms the shallows first, so start there.
