Spring Pond Fishing Guide, Rutland County, Vermont

• Overview

  Spring Pond lies within the bounds of Rutland County, Vermont. The country here is rolling bush. The water measures roughly 5 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Most waters listed here for Rutland County are larger. Brandon sits 2.9 miles from the bank. The big place round here is Albany, 89 miles distant. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Spring Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Reported across Rutland County: bluegill, brook trout, brown trout, white sucker and largemouth bass. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Spring Pond responds to conditions more than to tactics.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 17°F in January to roughly 67°F in July. The year runs cold to warm and back, with clear transitions. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly mid April. On average, mid April opens the water and early December closes it again. The strongest runs come at either end of the open season. At Spring Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Access points are not mapped for this water, which suits people who like quiet. 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. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Failing this one, try Burnell Pond, 0.6 miles away. Check the position at Spring Pond before loading the car.
