Evans Pond near Pima: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  Within Graham County, Arizona, you have Evans Pond. It stands 3,117 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 5 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. It is low-lying compared with other Arizona water we list. Pima at 5.3 miles is the nearest place to stop. The nearest city of size is Tucson, 75 miles away. No boundary runs near, so the county rules hold throughout.

• Where to Fish on Evans Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Documented catches and surveys in the area cover channel catfish, flathead catfish, Gila trout, golden redhorse and largemouth bass. Protected fish appear in the records for this area, so treat the list as information, not an invitation. The shape of Evans Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 43°F and July at about 80°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Fish stay active all year, but they move with the heat. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. It sets the rhythm of the year at Evans Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. No made access is recorded, so a short walk in is the likely arrangement. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Parking is often the real limit rather than the bank itself. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. Failing this one, try Cluff Reservoir Number One, 0.6 miles away. Check the position on Evans Pond before loading the car.
