• Where to Fish on Grass Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Public occurrence data for St. Lawrence County names rock bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. The shape of Grass Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 67°F; by January the average is down near 15°F. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. At Grass Pond the season follows that pattern closely.
