• Where to Fish on Pond Number S-1

  Depth is unknown to us, and the shoreline is the better guide. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, redbreast sunfish, channel catfish, speckled darter and redeye bass. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. Treat this water as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 79°F in July and bottoms out near 44°F in January. Winter is the comfortable season here rather than the difficult one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. Keep it in mind when planning a trip to this water.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. Mapping is blank for access, so scout the approach before committing the car. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Pond Number S-3 is 0.4 miles distant. Signs at this water carry more weight than any list.
