• Where to Fish on Beebe Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Records held for Bennington County cover brook trout, brown trout, white sucker, brown bullhead and longnose sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Beebe Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 64°F and January reads 16°F. Winter puts a hard lid on this one. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from mid April. Open water usually runs from mid April until about early December. Fishing peaks soon after break-up and again before the cold returns. Plan any trip to Beebe Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Lost Pond at 0.9 miles is the sensible second choice. For Beebe Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
