• Where to Fish on Greenough Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. County-wide records name rainbow trout, brown trout, rainbow smelt and Atlantic salmon. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. Greenough Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 64°F; the cold one sits at 12°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about late April. Average temperatures cross freezing around late April in spring and again near early December in autumn. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. On Greenough Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. This sits inside Greenough Ponds Wildlife Management Area, so read the reserve notices first. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Little Greenough Pond, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback.
