  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Schoharie County records list brown trout, rainbow trout, brook trout and bluegill among the fish reported. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Failing this one, try Summit Lake, 2.4 miles away. For Baldwin Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
