Fishing Teed Pond in Delaware County, New York

• Overview

  Out in Delaware County, New York, sits Teed Pond. The water sits 2,037 feet up. About 7 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. It is a small entry by Delaware County standards. Walton at 6.6 miles is the nearest place to stop. It is 73 miles to Syracuse, the nearest city. This one is safely inside the county line.

• Where to Fish on Teed Pond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Species logged across Delaware County include brown trout, brook trout and rainbow trout. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Teed Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 66°F in July and bottoms out near 20°F in January. Winter shuts the surface down for months. Count the season from break-up, usually early April. From about early April to around mid December, expect open water on the long-run figures. Right after break-up, and again as the nights sharpen, is when to go. Teed Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. For a change of water, Lake Cecil is 3.5 miles distant. None of that is settled for Teed Pond in what we hold.
