Plumadore Pond in Franklin County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Plumadore Pond is listed under Franklin County, New York. This is lake country bush ground. With some 110 acres of water, there is room for a boat but no need of one. There is roughly 1.7 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. Some 17 miles away sits Malone, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Ville-Marie, 65 miles distant. One jurisdiction covers this water end to end.

• Where to Fish on Plumadore Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Open biodiversity records for Franklin County list brook trout, white sucker and brown trout. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Read Plumadore Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 65°F for July and 13°F for January. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Expect a solid lid for months and a thaw around mid April. In an average year the thaw lands around mid April and the freeze near early December. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. That is the shape of the year on Plumadore Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No dam controls it, and the level follows the season. No launch point is recorded nearby, so this is a bank water unless you carry a boat in. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Wolf Pond sits 2.1 miles off and takes the overflow. Check the position at Plumadore Pond before loading the car.
