• Where to Fish on Lawn Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Public wildlife records from this area list chain pickerel, yellow bullhead, bluegill and margined madtom. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. At Lawn Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  In an average year July sits at 81°F and January at 44°F. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. It holds true on Lawn Pond more years than not. Water colour tells you more than the air temperature does.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Pike mean a wire trace, no exceptions; big spoons and jerkbaits do the searching. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. The nearest alternative is Sherman Pond, 0.9 miles out. Where Lawn Pond is concerned, a local answer beats a written one.
