Siamese Ponds in Warren County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  The Warren County end of New York holds Siamese Ponds. It sits at 2,116 feet above sea level. Roughly 100 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The whole outline is near 2.1 miles, and most of it is walkable. It is among the larger waters listed here for Warren County. Warrensburg is the closest town at 22 miles. After that come Hadley at 27 miles and Northville at 27 miles. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Siamese Ponds

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Records held for Warren County cover brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed, yellow perch and white sucker. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Siamese Ponds the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 14°F in January and 63°F in July. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. The open season starts with the thaw, near enough late April. Climate figures give an open season running late April to late November. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Siamese Ponds fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Failing this one, try North Pond, 1.3 miles away. Signs at Siamese Ponds carry more weight than any list.
