Teal Pond, California: Fishing Spots and Seasons

• Overview

  Teal Pond stands in Los Angeles County, California. The setting is open dry country on every side. Surface area is around 63 acres, which gives you real water without needing a boat. Start from Rosamond, 6 miles down the road. Beyond it, Lancaster at 6.1 miles and Quartz Hill at 11 miles. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Teal Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Los Angeles County records list flathead grey mullet, common carp, rainbow trout and bluegill among the fish reported. The list covers the county rather than this water alone, so treat it as a guide. Fish Teal Pond to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  July runs about 81°F on average, December about 43°F. Cold never closes this one. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. It holds true on Teal Pond more years than not. Water temperature lags the air by a week or so.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Mapping shows an empty shoreline: no ramp, no jetty, no marked entry. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Rules differ from one water to the next round here. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Should this one be busy, Ducks Unlimited Pond is 0.2 miles off. Nothing here settles the position at Teal Pond for certain.
