• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 73°F and January near 27°F on the long-run figures. The year turns gently, without extremes at either end. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. It holds true on Happy Hollow Pond more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Parking is mapped about half a mile from the bank. There is a toilet block some half a mile out. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Should this one be busy, Little Cranberry Pond is 0.3 miles off. Confirm before you fish Happy Hollow Pond.
