Fishing Verga Pond in Sullivan County, New York

• Overview

  Within Sullivan County, New York, you have Verga Pond. It stands 1,079 feet above sea level. At roughly 4 acres, the whole thing is within casting reach of a single walk.

This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Verga Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Fish documented in Sullivan County include brown trout, brook trout, smallmouth bass and white sucker. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. On Verga Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 69°F on average, January about 23°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late March. Going by climate averages, expect open water from about late March until roughly late December. The middle of summer slows a little, with dawn and dusk carrying it. Plan around that when you fish Verga Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. There is a campsite half a mile from the water. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Hirsh Pond, 0.9 miles away.
