Clear Pond Fishing near Warrensburg, New York

• Overview

  New York holds Clear Pond, in Warren County. This is mixed forest country. At 25 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. 21 miles away sits Warrensburg, the nearest town. Ticonderoga follows at 30 miles, then Hadley at 31 miles. Close by you also have: Mud Pond 0.3 miles, Long Pond out at 0.4 miles, Fuller Pond 1 mile, Ordway Pond out at 1.2 miles and Carter Pond 1.2 miles. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Clear Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Warren County, recorded fish include brown trout, brook trout and pumpkinseed. The county list is broader than any single water. The near bank of Clear Pond is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 15°F in January and 65°F in July. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about mid April. Break-up near mid April, freeze-up near early December: that is the shape of an average year. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Clear Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. No built facilities appear in mapping around this water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Mud Pond at 0.3 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Clear Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
