• Where to Fish on Jobs Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Across Caledonia County, recorded fish include rainbow trout, brook trout, pumpkinseed, white sucker and yellow perch. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Jobs Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This is a natural basin, not a dammed one. Launch at Jobs Pond Public Boat Launch, half a mile from the water. A car park lies half a mile away, so the walk in is short. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Season dates differ by species, so read the table. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. For a change of water, Bald Hill Pond is 1.9 miles distant. Treat access at Jobs Pond as something to verify.
