On Terry Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 80°F in July and bottom out at 41°F in January. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. Plan around that when you fish Terry Pond. A settled week fishes better than a changeable one.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. The nearest alternative is Morse Pond, 1.5 miles out. Nothing on Terry Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
