Swede Pond Fishing near Ticonderoga, New York

• Overview

  Swede Pond is one of the Warren County listings for New York. The surroundings are pine and birch. It runs to roughly 39 acres — big enough to hold fish away from the bank, small enough to learn. Around 0.9 miles of margin, front to back. The nearest town is Ticonderoga, 11 miles away. Whitehall is 15 miles away, with Crown Point at 16 miles. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Swede Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Open biodiversity records for Warren County list brown trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed and yellow perch. The county list is broader than any single water. Swede Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 67°F in July and bottoms out near 18°F in January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Look for the thaw near mid April; the fishing lifts straight after. Break-up sits around mid April on average, with the water closing again about early December. Early summer and early autumn carry the open-water season. On Swede Pond the same rules apply, with local timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. The nearest alternative is Wintergreen Lake, 1.5 miles out. The position on Swede Pond is worth confirming on the day.
