Belvidere Pond Fishing Guide, Orleans County, Vermont

• Overview

  The Orleans County end of Vermont holds Belvidere Pond. Height above sea level is 1,138 feet. Roughly 101 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. The whole outline is near 2.0 miles, and most of it is walkable. Montgomery lies 9.6 miles from the water. It is 55 miles to Sherbrooke, the nearest city. The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Belvidere Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. The shallow end warms first and pulls fish in ahead of the rest. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Species logged across Orleans County include white sucker, pumpkinseed, brook trout and yellow perch. The county list is broader than any single water. Belvidere Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 65°F, with January the cold end at about 13°F. The year splits cleanly: hard water, then open water. Winter locks it down, and mid April brings it back. From about mid April to around early December, expect open water on the long-run figures. The shoulder weeks of the open season are the productive ones. The season on Belvidere Pond follows the weather closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access is not recorded for this water. Records list it as a natural water body rather than an impoundment. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Where parking is tight, arriving early solves most problems. For a change of water, Big Muddy Pond is 0.8 miles distant. Treat access at Belvidere Pond as something to verify.
