  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 67°F for July and 17°F for January. Winter closes the water for a while, and the reopening is worth catching. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid April. From about mid April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The open run goes from the thaw to the freeze, and April through October covers most of it. That shapes the year on Ronna Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Rules for boats are stricter than rules for the bank in many places. Lake Nancy sits 0.9 miles off and takes the overflow. Ask locally about Ronna Pond if anything is unclear.
