Beach Pond, located on the Connecticut-Rhode Island border, is a picturesque water body known for its excellent fishing opportunities. This 430-acre lake is surrounded by scenic woodlands, offering anglers a tranquil setting for their fishing adventures.

One of the most sought-after fish species in Beach Pond is the smallmouth bass. Anglers flock to this lake to target these feisty and hard-fighting fish. The rocky shorelines, submerged structures, and drop-offs provide ideal habitat for smallmouth bass. Anglers often employ techniques such as casting with soft plastic baits, crankbaits, or jerkbaits to entice the smallmouth bass lurking in the lake's clear waters.

In addition to smallmouth bass, Beach Pond is also home to other popular fish species, including largemouth bass, pickerel, and yellow perch. Largemouth bass can be found near the weed beds and submerged vegetation, while pickerel and yellow perch are commonly found in the shallower areas. Anglers can enjoy targeting these species using a variety of lures, such as spinnerbaits, jigs, or live bait.

When planning a fishing trip to Beach Pond, anglers should familiarize themselves with the fishing regulations and licensing requirements specific to the lake. Adhering to these regulations helps protect the fish population and ensures a sustainable fishery for future generations.
