• Where to Fish on Log Pond Lake

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Across Columbia County, recorded fish include Coho salmon, bluegill, yellow perch and largemouth bass. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. The near bank of Log Pond Lake is often the one people ignore.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warm month here averages 65°F; the cold one sits at 39°F. The season runs year-round, with the peak either side of summer. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. At Log Pond Lake the season follows that pattern closely.

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. The closest car park is 0.9 miles away, so pack accordingly. A platform or pier sits within half a mile.
