Storage Pond Fishing in Lee County, Alabama

• Overview

  Lee County, Alabama, is where Storage Pond sits. It lies 653 feet above sea level. It covers about 17 acres, so this is small water you can walk round in under an hour. Auburn lies 3.2 miles from the water. Opelika is 6.6 miles away, with Lafayette at 18 miles. The county line runs close by, so rules can change within a short drive.

• Where to Fish on Storage Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Records collected within a few miles name bluegill, redbreast sunfish and channel catfish. It is a record of sightings and surveys, so use it as a guide. Storage Pond gives up more to patience than to distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate records put July near 80°F and January near 45°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan any trip to Storage Pond around it.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. You can leave the car about half a mile from the water. This sits inside Louise Kreher Forest Ecology Preserve, so read the reserve notices first. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. For a change of water, Pond Number S-14 is 1.5 miles distant. None of that is settled for Storage Pond in what we hold.
