• Where to Fish on J E Powe Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Fish documented in Marlboro County include sawcheek darter, redfin pickerel, bluegill and redbreast sunfish. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. At J E Powe Pond the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 80°F, with January the cold end at about 42°F. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to J E Powe Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Rollins Pond, 0.7 miles away.
