Fishing Round Pond in Warren County, New York

• Overview

  Round Pond is a Warren County water, in New York. Elevation runs to 1,227 feet. It covers about 21 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Ticonderoga at 15 miles is the nearest place to stop. Albany is the closest city, 73 miles away. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Round Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Records held for Warren County cover brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and white sucker. The county list is broader than any single water. At Round Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 17°F in January up to 67°F in July. A solid cap is the normal state through winter. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around mid April. From about mid April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Round Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Failing this one, try Duck Pond, 0.4 miles away. Check the current arrangement for Round Pond.
