It sits well inside its county, with no border complications.

• Where to Fish on Filippini Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. County-wide records name brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass, white sucker and rainbow trout. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Take Filippini Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 68°F and January near 21°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around early April. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early April and starts locking again about mid December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan any trip to Filippini Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. A car park sits roughly half a mile away. Public toilets are recorded roughly half a mile off. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Hunter Lake at 1.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the position at Filippini Pond before loading the car.
