Beach Pond is a lake in Rhode Island, near Washington County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Beach Pond covers 340 acres in Washington County. The verified maximum depth at Beach Pond is 60 feet.
Beach Pond is a deep Connecticut-border water with largemouth and smallmouth bass, pickerel, perch and stocked trout and walleye. Its 60-foot basin gives anglers more vertical range than most Rhode Island ponds.
Rhode Island DEM lists about 340 acres on the Rhode Island side reference. Rock, steep breaks and cooler deep water suit smallmouth and trout, while protected vegetation favors largemouth and pickerel.
Current stocking information identifies brown trout, rainbow trout and walleye. Those management efforts do not guarantee that every stocked species will be easy to find on a particular day.
Fish reported from Beach Pond include bluegill, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, and yellow perch. Brown trout, rainbow trout, and walleye are separately identified as stocked in Beach Pond. Stocking describes management activity at Beach Pond; it does not guarantee that those fish will be present at every spot or on every trip.
Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Beach Pond largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover. Use a tube, Ned rig or small swimbait for Beach Pond smallmouth where firm bottom meets deeper water.
Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Beach Pond for bluegill and related sunfish. A small minnow or worm on a light rig fits yellow perch fishing at Beach Pond.
Walleye at Beach Pond can be approached with a jig and minnow, paddletail or trolled crankbait along a point or channel edge. A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Beach Pond.
For rainbow trout and brown trout in Beach Pond, use a small spoon, inline spinner, trout magnet or natural bait on light line. Stocked trout may begin near release areas before spreading toward cooler or deeper water in Beach Pond.
Beach Pond is deep enough for fish to separate by temperature and forage. Use sonar or contours to identify the working band instead of treating the deepest basin as the automatic target. Before moving, change lure depth once so depth and location are not abandoned together.
Spring at Beach Pond favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Beach Pond, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Beach Pond become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
Drag a tube over rock for smallmouth and use a worm around vegetation for largemouth. For trout or walleye, locate the best depth first, then work a spoon, minnow imitation or jig along the break rather than the deepest bottom.
A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles jigs, small crankbaits and live-bait rigs on Beach Pond. A medium-heavy rod with 12- to 15-pound line covers bass jigs and bottom rigs at Beach Pond.
At Beach Pond, separate the shoreline plan from the basin plan. Fish cover and rock first, then use temperature and visible forage to choose an offshore depth. The deepest number is only context. A spoon, jig or minnow imitation should pass through marked fish instead of being sent automatically to bottom.
Its 60-foot basin supports cool deep water and gives trout, walleye and forage room to suspend.
Current information identifies brown trout, rainbow trout and walleye.
Start with rock and firm-bottom breaks, especially where a point falls toward deeper water.
