Brown Pond, New York: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  You will find Brown Pond in Warren County, New York. The setting is rolling bush. The water measures roughly 7 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. It is a small entry by Warren County standards. For supplies, Warrensburg is 24 miles out. Hadley is 32 miles and Lake Luzerne 33 miles. Rules can differ a short way off, since the county line is near.

• Where to Fish on Brown Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Records held for Warren County cover brown trout, brook trout and pumpkinseed. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Brown Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 64°F and January near 14°F. Expect a real winter and a strong spring after it. Ice is part of the season here, ending near mid April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around mid April and starts locking again about early December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan around that when you fish Brown Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Gardner Pond, 0.6 miles out. What applies at Brown Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
