Where exactly is Round Pond?

In New York, it falls inside St. Lawrence County, 1,516 feet up. Hannawa Falls is 12 miles off and Potsdam 15 miles. Any feature at all beats a flat, featureless stretch.

How large is Round Pond?

At 10 acres it is the sort of place you fish for an evening rather than a day. Area figures come from open mapping and can shift with water level.

Which fish have been recorded near Round Pond?

Records held for St. Lawrence County cover rock bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and white sucker. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water.

How deep is Round Pond?

No depth figure is published for this water. Let the shoreline tell you: shallow bays warm first and pull fish up. Do not block a gateway, however briefly.

What happens to Round Pond in winter?

Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Break-up comes around mid April, and the run that follows is short and strong. Expect the water usable from around mid April until roughly early December.

Is there a boat ramp at Round Pond?

No slipway is mapped within reach, so assume bank fishing only. Gates can be locked out of season, so check before you travel. If the wind is wrong here, somewhere close by will suit it.

Round Pond Fishing Guide, St. Lawrence County, New York

Overview
Round Pond sits in St. Lawrence County, out in New York. The shore lies 35 miles out. Surface area runs to about 10 acres — small enough to read in one session. The nearest place of any size is Hannawa Falls, 12 miles away. The nearest city of size is Gloucester, 72 miles away. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.
Where to Fish on Round Pond
Our records carry no depth, so judge it from the bank. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Records held for St. Lawrence County cover rock bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. The near bank of Round Pond is often the one people ignore.
Seasonal Patterns
The warmest month averages 66°F, the coldest about 13°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count the season from break-up, usually mid April. In an average year the thaw lands around mid April and the freeze near early December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan around that when you fish Round Pond.
Tackle & Baits
Public data does not answer the access question here. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. Failing this one, try Rainbow Falls Reservoir, 1.1 miles away. What applies at Round Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
