Rendert Pond, New York: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Rensselaer County end of New York holds Rendert Pond. It sits in lake country bush. It covers about 4 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Rensselaer County. Averill Park lies 2.7 miles from the water. Then West Sand Lake, 5.6 miles, and Poestenkill, 5.8 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Rendert Pond

  We hold no survey for this water; read the slope of the shoreline instead. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Reported across Rensselaer County: brown trout, common carp and pumpkinseed. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. Take Rendert Pond a stretch at a time.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 20°F to 69°F. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Ice fishing carries the winter, and the water opens about early April. Open water usually runs from early April until about mid December. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. Rendert Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Glass Lake is 1.4 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at Rendert Pond for certain.
