Sullivan Pond, New York: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  The Warren County entry here is Sullivan Pond, in New York. Around the bank it is lake country bush. Roughly 33 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. A shoreline of some 1.0 miles keeps the choices simple. For a base, Warrensburg sits 9.6 miles out. Queensbury is 20 miles away, with Whitehall at 21 miles. It sits well inside the county, so one set of rules covers it.

• Where to Fish on Sullivan Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Warren County cover brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Read Sullivan Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 67°F in July and bottoms out near 17°F in January. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Break-up comes around early April, and the run that follows is short and strong. On the long-run averages the water opens up around early April and starts locking again about early December. From the thaw to midsummer the fishing improves week by week. Time your trip to Sullivan Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. It formed naturally, so levels move with rainfall rather than with a gate. Formal access is not mapped, so the last stretch is likely on foot. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Friends Lake at 1.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Nothing on Sullivan Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
