Kiwanis Pond Fishing in Rock County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  Kiwanis Pond falls in Rock County, part of Wisconsin. This is lake country bush ground. Small at around 12 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Rock County. Some 1.1 miles away sits Janesville, the nearest settlement. For a city, Rockford is 29 miles off. It lies deep inside the county rather than near an edge.

• Where to Fish on Kiwanis Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. A natural lake fishes on cover, and cover here means weed and timber. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Survey and observation records for Rock County include common carp, rainbow trout, brown trout and smallmouth bass. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Anyone new to Kiwanis Pond should walk it once before setting up.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July to average close to 72°F, with January the cold end at about 17°F. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. Firm cover through the cold months, then open water from late March. Break-up sits around late March on average, with the water closing again about mid December. September and October fish steadily right up to the freeze. That is the shape of the year on Kiwanis Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. A boat ramp sits about half a mile from the water. You can park half a mile away and walk in from there. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Spauldings Pond at 4.9 miles is the sensible second choice. Check the current arrangement for Kiwanis Pond.
