Lombard Pond near Augusta: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  You will find Lombard Pond in Richmond County, Georgia. Height above sea level is 167 feet. The water measures roughly 13 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. Ground here is low by Georgia standards. Head to Augusta, 3.5 miles away, for anything you forgot. It is 68 miles to Columbia, the nearest city. Two sets of local rules meet not far from this water.

• Where to Fish on Lombard Pond

  Depth here is unknown, so count the lead down before committing. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include redbreast sunfish, bluegill, largemouth bass, blackbanded darter and bowfin. The list reflects reported sightings and surveys rather than what is stocked. Read Lombard Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.

• Seasonal Patterns

  On the long-term average, July reads 82°F and January reads 45°F. The hard part of the year is the heat, not the cold. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. That shapes the year on Lombard Pond. Cool nights slow the mornings but sharpen the evenings.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where access is informal, keep it that way by behaving. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. Lake Olmstead, 4.2 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Rules at Lombard Pond are worth checking on the day.
