Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Open biodiversity records for Orange County list common carp, brook trout, bluegill and pumpkinseed. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Kloibers Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Look for a notice board at the entrance. Signs go up and come down, so check on the day.
