• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 71°F in July and bottoms out near 24°F in January. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough early April. Break-up sits around early April on average, with the water closing again about late December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. Plan around that when you fish Log Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Light line and small metal for the trout; a fly rod earns its place on calm evenings. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Grant Pond at 1.6 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing here settles the position at Log Pond for certain.
