Peterkin Pond Fishing Guide, Walworth County, Wisconsin

• Overview

  The Walworth County end of Wisconsin holds Peterkin Pond. The water sits 886 feet up. This is a pocket water of some 24 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is one of the smaller waters we list in Walworth County. Head to Pell Lake, 3.2 miles away, for anything you forgot. The big place round here is Elgin, 34 miles distant. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Peterkin Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Public occurrence data for Walworth County names common carp, bluegill, brown trout, pumpkinseed and northern pike. Take it as the county picture rather than a promise for this water. Treat Peterkin Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 72°F and January near 19°F. Seasons are distinct, and each one fishes differently. Ice is part of the season here, ending near late March. Averages place the thaw at late March and the freeze at mid December. Just after the ice goes and just before it returns, the fishing lifts. On Peterkin Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  Access status is simply unknown for this water. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. The nearest alternative is Goose Pond, 2.5 miles out. The position on Peterkin Pond is worth confirming on the day.
