Fishing Reynolds Pond in Kent County, Rhode Island

• Overview

  This water sits in Kent County, Rhode Island. It sits in mixed woodland country. Around 32 acres of surface means several distinct areas to work. West Greenwich sits 2.4 miles from here and is the nearest stop. After that come Coventry at 4.5 miles and West Warwick at 5.8 miles. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Reynolds Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Across Kent County, recorded fish include bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and rainbow trout. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Reynolds Pond repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 27°F in January up to 70°F in July. Most months fish reasonably, given the right weather. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. That shapes the year on Reynolds Pond. A settled week fishes better than a changeable one.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Parking sits half a mile out, which makes for a walk with tackle. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Capwell Mill Pond is 1.1 miles distant. Where Reynolds Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
