Ice clears near mid April and comes back about early December in a typical year. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan any trip to Round Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Flag Pond is 1.1 miles distant. Confirm access to Round Pond locally before you travel.
