Adamant Pond Fishing Guide, Washington County, Vermont

• Overview

  Out in Washington County, Vermont, sits Adamant Pond. This is rolling bush country. It measures about 42 acres, which is a comfortable size for bank fishing. There is roughly 1.3 miles of shoreline here, which is a short walk end to end. The closest town, Montpelier, is 6.3 miles distant. Then Middlesex, 9.2 miles, and Barre, 9.4 miles. The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Adamant Pond

  We hold no depth figure for this one. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Survey and observation records for Washington County include brook trout, rainbow trout, white sucker and brown trout. The county list is broader than any single water. On Adamant Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 66°F and January reads 15°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. In an average year the thaw lands around mid April and the freeze near early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. That shapes the year on Adamant Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. For a change of water, Sodom Pond is 0.6 miles distant. What applies at Adamant Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
