• Where to Fish on Pond Creek

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Slack water behind an obstruction is worth more than open current. Gravel runs and silted pools fish quite differently, so treat them apart. Open occurrence data for the surrounding area lists bluegill, spotted sunfish and blackbanded darter. Local agencies keep the authoritative list for each water. At Pond Creek the water rewards a slow, careful approach.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 50°F in January and 81°F in July. The water stays warm and open throughout. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. It holds true on Pond Creek more years than not. A grey, mild day is often better than a bright, still one.
