• Where to Fish on Hodges Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Biodiversity records within roughly six miles include bluegill, chain pickerel and largemouth bass. The records cover the area rather than this water alone. On Hodges Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The year swings from about 49°F in January to roughly 82°F in July. Wet and dry spells shape the year more than temperature. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. That shapes the year on Hodges Pond.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. There is no mapped parking or launch nearby, which keeps numbers down. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Check locally before you travel, because a wasted drive is a long one. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Failing this one, try Delmus Rushing Lake, 1.8 miles away. Confirm before you fish Hodges Pond.
