Green Pond, Michigan: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Green Pond is a Schoolcraft County water, Michigan side. It sits at 932 feet above sea level. Small at around 3 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Schoolcraft County. The town to know is Newberry, 21 miles out. Munising is 37 miles and Manistique 41 miles. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Green Pond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Records held for Schoolcraft County cover rainbow smelt, alewife and bloater. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Green Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 64°F and January near 16°F on the long-run figures. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late April. Break-up sits around late April on average, with the water closing again about early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Green Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Twin Lakes, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Green Pond are worth checking on the day.
