• Where to Fish on Spring Creek Pond

  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. A reservoir gives you a hard edge, a shelf, and not much else. Records collected within a few miles name flathead catfish, redbreast sunfish, shoal bass, bluegill and largemouth bass. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. On Spring Creek Pond that means starting tight and working out.

• Seasonal Patterns

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Expect a half a mile walk in from where the car goes. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Parking space is the usual limit rather than the bank itself. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. If the gate is shut, Chase Lake at 1.9 miles is the nearest alternative. Ask locally about Spring Creek Pond if anything is unclear.
