The boundary is near enough that local access rules are worth double-checking.

• Where to Fish on Roxy Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. This is a lake, so the margins and the first drop matter most. Survey and observation records for Waukesha County include common carp, bluegill, brown trout, rainbow trout and rock bass. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. At Roxy Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 18°F in January to roughly 71°F in July. The season turns properly here, and fish follow it closely. The lid arrives early and lasts until roughly early April. The water is typically free of ice between early April and mid December. The first weeks of open water and the last are the ones to plan for. Roxy Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.
