A Simple Fishing Plan for Thompson Pond

When to Fish Thompson Pond

Spring on Thompson is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Thompson can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
