Red Pond in Mohave County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Red Pond is listed under Mohave County, Arizona. The bank gives way to mixed woodland. Head to Meadview, 37 miles away, for anything you forgot. Henderson is the closest city, 83 miles away. Others within reach: Nutter Reservoir roughly 9.1 miles, Ditch Pond 9.7 miles away, Christman Pond roughly 10 miles, Ditch Pond 11 miles away and Roys Pond roughly 12 miles. No county line comes close, which keeps the paperwork simple.

• Where to Fish on Red Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. Across Mohave County, recorded fish include flannelmouth sucker, bluehead sucker, common carp and channel catfish. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. The shape of Red Pond rewards a slow walk along one bank.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Climate normals give 72°F for July and 34°F for January. Whether it freezes depends on the year. Cover comes and goes, so treat it with suspicion rather than trust. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Red Pond fishes to that pattern most years.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public sources are silent on who controls the bank. This one is mapped as intermittent, so a wasted trip is a real risk in a dry year. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Ask in the nearest town if you are unsure. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. If the gate is shut, Nutter Reservoir at 9.1 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position at Red Pond before loading the car.
