• Where to Fish on Sunflower Pond

  No chart reached our records; the first cast is your sounding. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Open biodiversity records for Greene County list bluegill, black crappie, warmouth, white crappie and longear sunfish. The county figures include rivers and lakes alike. Sunflower Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 28°F and July at about 76°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Ice comes and goes from one year to the next. Some winters give nothing at all, so plan for open water. April and May are the settled weeks, with October close behind. Sunflower Pond runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  There is no clear statement anywhere on who can fish it. Nothing is mapped in the way of a ramp or car park within a short radius. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Some banks are open only from a marked point. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. The nearest alternative is Narrow Lake, 2.7 miles out. Check the current arrangement for Sunflower Pond.
