• Where to Fish on Greenland Pond

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Washington County records list brown trout, white sucker, tessellated darter and pumpkinseed among the fish reported. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. On Greenland Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Facilities include toilets around half a mile from here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. Should this one be busy, Millman Pond is 0.9 miles off.
