County-wide records name bluegill, largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, pumpkinseed and rainbow trout. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Whitford Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Mapping shows no built access close by; expect to walk in from wherever you can leave the car. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. Should this one be busy, Arnold Pond is 1.2 miles off. What applies at Whitford Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
