Fishing at Gedney Pond, Westchester County, New York

• Overview

  You will find Gedney Pond in Westchester County, New York. This is rolling hill ground. A splashy cast here empties the swim; a quiet one owns it. Our Westchester County list holds plenty of bigger water. Supplies mean a trip to Mamaroneck, 1 mile off. Harrison follows at 1.5 miles, then Larchmont at 2.4 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Gedney Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Westchester County: common carp, striped bass and bluegill. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Fish Gedney Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 30°F to 74°F. A long season, with weather mattering more than the month. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Gedney Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Sheldrake Lake, 1.9 miles out. Rules at Gedney Pond are worth checking on the day.
