• Where to Fish on Long Lake Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Montmorency County records list largemouth bass, bluegill, northern pike, rock bass and yellow perch among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Long Lake Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 67°F, the coldest about 17°F. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. The season on Long Lake Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether you may fish here is not something records settle. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. Bedore Lake at 0.2 miles is the sensible second choice. None of that is settled for Long Lake Pond in what we hold.
