Bullhead Pond Fishing Guide, St. Lawrence County, New York

• Overview

  Bullhead Pond sits in St. Lawrence County, out in New York. The ground around here is mixed forest. This is a pocket water of some 5 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in St. Lawrence County. Start from Hannawa Falls, 12 miles down the road. After that come Canton at 12 miles and Potsdam at 16 miles. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Bullhead Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in St. Lawrence County include rock bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. Read it as a county summary, not a water-by-water list. On Bullhead Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 67°F for July and 14°F for January. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near mid April. Averages place the thaw at mid April and the freeze at early December. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. Time your trip to Bullhead Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. There is no mapped parking or launch close by, which usually means walking in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. For a change of water, Clear Lake is 0.9 miles distant. Nothing on Bullhead Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
