• Where to Fish on Scobie Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Across Rockingham County, recorded fish include rainbow trout, largemouth bass and brown trout. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. On Scobie Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 70°F and January near 22°F on the long-run figures. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Count the season from break-up, usually early April. From about early April to around late December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Reckon on open water from spring through to late autumn, with May and June the strongest. Expect Scobie Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. A carry of half a mile from the nearest parking is the price of fishing here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Rainbow Lake, 1.1 miles out. Rules at Scobie Pond are worth checking on the day.
