Triangle Pond Fishing near Mineville, New York

• Overview

  Triangle Pond belongs to Essex County, New York. Elevation runs to 1,247 feet. Surface area runs to about 5 acres — small enough to read in one session. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Essex County. Mineville lies 7.5 miles from the water. After that come Port Henry at 9.5 miles and Crown Point at 12 miles. The county line is nowhere near, so one local authority covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Triangle Pond

  Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Reported across Essex County: brown trout, brook trout, white sucker and pumpkinseed. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Treat Triangle Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 67°F in July and bottom out at 17°F in January. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. The freeze runs deep into the year, with break-up near mid April. The open-water window runs from around mid April to about early December in an average year. Late spring and early autumn carry the year between them. Plan around that when you fish Triangle Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Bullpout Pond is 1 mile off. None of that is settled for Triangle Pond in what we hold.
