Bullhead Pond Fishing near Edinburg, New York

• Overview

  In New York, Bullhead Pond belongs to Warren County. It sits in mixed forest. At 10 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. On size it sits at the modest end of our Warren County list. The closest town, Edinburg, is 11 miles away. Hadley is 11 miles and Northville 12 miles. Being near a boundary, it pays to know which side you are fishing.

• Where to Fish on Bullhead Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. County-wide records name brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Bullhead Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 65°F at the top of summer and 16°F at the bottom of winter. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Once it clears, about mid April, the fishing comes on quickly. Averages suggest open water from about mid April through to roughly early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Plan around that when you fish Bullhead Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Livingston Lake at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Treat access at Bullhead Pond as something to verify.
