• Where to Fish on Marklelys Pond

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Fish documented in Montgomery County include smallmouth bass, bluegill and redbreast sunfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Marklelys Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 75°F, the coldest about 30°F. Spring and autumn are the strongest, but nothing is truly closed. It is not guaranteed even in a cold spell, so check yourself. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to Marklelys Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. Parking within half a mile means no long carry with tackle. Facilities run to toilets half a mile from the water. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Mermaid Lake at 4.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Confirm access to Marklelys Pond locally before you travel.
