• Where to Fish on Gregory Pond

  No published figure covers depth, so learn it as you fish. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Open biodiversity records for Monroe County list brown trout, brook trout and bluegill. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Gregory Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Temperature averages peak at 71°F in July and bottom out at 25°F in January. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. In a normal year the cover is thin and short-lived. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Plan around that when you fish Gregory Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Mapping shows parking within half a mile. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. Some banks are open only from a marked point. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. The nearest alternative is Spring Lake, 0.9 miles out. Ask locally about Gregory Pond if anything is unclear.
