• Where to Fish on Reeves Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Bradford County cover smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, brook trout and brown bullhead. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Reeves Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 69°F and January near 23°F. The middle months are generous; the ends are demanding. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from early April. Break-up near early April, freeze-up near mid December: that is the shape of an average year. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. At Reeves Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Agnew Pond, 1.7 miles out. For Reeves Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
