• Where to Fish on Parmeter Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. County-wide records name rock bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and white sucker. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At Parmeter Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 66°F and January near 14°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. Average temperatures cross freezing around mid April in spring and again near early December in autumn. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. It sets the rhythm of the year at Parmeter Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Failing this one, try Allen Pond, 0.9 miles away. Confirm before you fish Parmeter Pond.
