• Where to Fish on Little Diamond Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. 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. Across Coos County, recorded fish include rainbow trout, brown trout and rainbow smelt. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. Little Diamond Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The seasonal spread runs 10°F to 63°F. Four clear seasons, with a proper winter at one end. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Break-up near late April, freeze-up near late November: that is the shape of an average year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. At Little Diamond Pond the season follows that pattern closely.
