Fishing Fulton Pond in Columbia County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Out in Columbia County, Wisconsin, sits Fulton Pond. The surface lies 814 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 4 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Most waters listed here for Columbia County are larger. Head to Poynette, 3.4 miles away, for anything you forgot. Further out sit Portage (7.6 miles) and Lake Wisconsin (7.8 miles). The nearest boundary is a fair way off.

• Where to Fish on Fulton Pond

  Depth figures are not published for this one. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Columbia County records list brown trout, common carp and rainbow trout among the fish reported. The county list is broader than any single water. The shape of Fulton Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 71°F and January near 16°F on the long-run figures. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer and winter test it. Hard water holds through the cold months, breaking up near early April. Expect the water usable from around early April until roughly early December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. That shapes the year on Fulton Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. 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. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Where the way in crosses private ground, ask first. Lake Columbia at 3 miles is the sensible second choice. For Fulton Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
