Christman Pond Fishing in Mohave County, Arizona

• Overview

  Christman Pond is set in Mohave County, Arizona. The land about it is farm and woodlot. The far bank is a conversation away, so keep low and quiet. For supplies, Scenic is 40 miles out.

Near neighbours: Ditch Pond near enough 1.9 miles, Nutter Reservoir within 2.2 miles, Ditch Pond near enough 7 miles, Roys Pond within 7.3 miles and Red Pond near enough 10 miles. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Christman Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Across Mohave County, recorded fish include flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker and common carp. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. The shape of Christman Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-term averages put July at about 74°F and January near 35°F. The year gives four workable seasons without severe ends. In milder years the edges alone go, and the middle never sets. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. On Christman Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. A phone call first saves an afternoon. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. For a change of water, Ditch Pond is 1.9 miles distant. What applies at Christman Pond may have changed since it was mapped.
