On Berry Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 68°F and January about 18°F. Hard water is a season in its own right here. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from early April. Expect the water usable from around early April until roughly mid December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. It sets the rhythm of the year at Berry Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Hidden Lake sits 1.1 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at Berry Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
