Osment Pond Fishing in Lee County, Alabama

• Overview

  Lee County, Alabama, is where Osment Pond sits. It sits in oak and grass country. About 4 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. Most waters listed here for Lee County are larger. Some 6.9 miles away sits Opelika, the nearest settlement. Further out sit Huguley (9.8 miles) and Valley (10 miles). This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Osment Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover blackbanded darter, redbreast sunfish, bluegill, greater jumprock and speckled madtom. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. Read Osment Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 79°F in July and bottoms out near 44°F in January. The surface stays open the year round. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. Spring and autumn carry the year; summer squeezes it into the ends of the day. Plan any trip to Osment Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. No made access appears within a short radius, so plan to park on a verge and walk. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. A polite question at the farm gate opens more banks than anything else. If the gate is shut, Kilpatrick Lake at 4.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Confirm access to Osment Pond locally before you travel.
