• Where to Fish on Kibby Pond

  Depth is not on record here, so the bank has to tell you. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Across Warren County, recorded fish include brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and white sucker. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. The shape of Kibby Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 15°F in January and 65°F in July. A hard winter is normal, and the thaw brings a strong few weeks. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. Climate figures give an open season running mid April to early December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. On Kibby Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Fish Ponds is 2.2 miles distant. Treat access at Kibby Pond as something to verify.
