Cloud from horizon to horizon today, with a proper ripple driven from the S with the glass on the way up. The water to cover at Meyers Pond is whatever cover the water offers. Everything points to the morning. Trust the forecast and stay out through the window. Cooler water spreads fish back across the shallows.

Meyers Pond sits within Cass County in Illinois. It sits at 440 feet above sea level. Roughly 147 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Some 0.7 miles away sits Beardstown, the nearest settlement. The big place round here is Springfield, 44 miles distant. Water in the same corner: Curry Lake 2.2 miles away, Wood Slough some 2.5 miles off, Little Lake 3.3 miles away, McCarty Slough some 4.8 miles off and Toppers Hole 5 miles away. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.
Nothing in our records gives a depth for this one. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. The productive water is a rod length or two out, not a hundred. Records held for Cass County cover common carp, bluegill, largemouth bass, gizzard shad and green sunfish. It is the county picture; the agency list is water-specific. Read Meyers Pond before you fish it and the day goes better.
The range across the year is 25°F to 76°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Winter locks it down, and early March brings it back. Averages place the thaw at early March and the freeze at late December. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Plan around that when you fish Meyers Pond.
Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. A boat ramp sits about half a mile from the water. 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 the road in crosses private land, ask first. Keep proof of licence with you rather than in the car. Curry Lake sits 2.2 miles off and takes the overflow. For Meyers Pond in particular, ask before you travel.
