• Where to Fish on Mineral Feeder Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The shape of Mineral Feeder Pond decides where the fish sit. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up.

  Temperature averages peak at 81°F in July and bottom out at 55°F in January. The water stays warm and open throughout. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. It sets the rhythm of the year at Mineral Feeder Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  Who may fish here is not settled in anything we hold. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day. Meeting Pond at 0.4 miles is the sensible second choice. Rules at Mineral Feeder Pond are worth checking on the day.
