A Simple Fishing Plan for Morrill Pond

When you first fish Morrill, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Morrill Pond

Spring on Morrill 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 Morrill can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
