• Where to Fish on Price Pond

  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Species logged across Wayne County include yellow perch, bluegill, largemouth bass and brown trout. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. On Price Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 67°F and January near 21°F. Winter shuts things down for a spell, then spring reopens them fast. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. Climate figures give an open season running early April to mid December. May into June fishes hardest, and September gives a second good stretch before the lid returns. Plan around that when you fish Price Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No access rule appears in what we hold. The closest car park is half a mile away, so pack accordingly. A campsite lies half a mile away for anyone staying over. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Margaret Lake is 1 mile distant. The position on Price Pond is worth confirming on the day.
