Round Pond Fishing Guide, Warren County, New York

• Overview

  Warren County in New York is where Round Pond sits. Elevation runs to 1,880 feet. Roughly 79 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. About 1.8 miles of bank, so nothing stays unexplored for long. It ranks high for size among our Warren County listings. The closest town, Warrensburg, is 11 miles distant. The big place round here is Albany, 60 miles distant. The nearest edge is a long way off, so local rules apply throughout.

• Where to Fish on Round Pond

  No figure exists for depth, so let the water show you. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Survey and observation records for Warren County include brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Round Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 15°F in January up to 65°F in July. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough mid April. The season between ice runs from about mid April to early December. The weeks after the thaw and the ones before the freeze are the strongest. Round Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Should this one be busy, Mud Pond is 0.9 miles off. Signs at Round Pond carry more weight than any list.
