After that come Hillsborough at 7 miles and Deering at 7.6 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Gregg Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Survey and observation records for Hillsborough County include rainbow trout, largemouth bass and brown trout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Gregg Lake the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 20°F in January up to 68°F in July. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. On average, early April opens the water and mid December closes it again. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. The season on Gregg Lake follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. The water borders Meadow Marsh, so reserve rules are likely to apply. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Willard Pond, 1.8 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. For Gregg Lake, the notice at the access point is the final word.
