• Where to Fish on Goose Pond

  Without a survey to go on, judge depth from how the bank falls away. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Read the surface for the wind lane, then fish the edge of it. Records held for Saint Croix County cover brown trout, rainbow trout, common carp, bluegill and largemouth bass. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. The shape of Goose Pond decides where the fish sit.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 11°F to 71°F. Fishing here follows the temperature more than the calendar. Winter fishing happens on the ice here, with open water back around early April. Ice clears near early April and comes back about late November in a typical year. The strong weeks are the first after break-up and the last before the freeze. The season on Goose Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. This lies within protected land, so the rules will be stricter than usual. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. The nearest alternative is Brushy Mound Lake, 2.7 miles out. Nothing on Goose Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
