Gaddys Pond in Anson County: How and When to Fish It

• Overview

  Gaddys Pond belongs to Anson County, North Carolina. The water sits 551 feet up. The water measures roughly 5 acres, so nothing here is far from anything else. On size it sits at the modest end of our Anson County list. Wadesboro lies 6.4 miles from the water. It is 45 miles to Charlotte, the nearest city. A border sits close enough to be relevant to the paperwork.

• Where to Fish on Gaddys Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Public occurrence data for Anson County names redbreast sunfish, bluegill, flat bullhead and piedmont darter. County records show what lives in the area; the local agency holds the water-by-water list. Gaddys Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Expect July near 79°F and January near 41°F on the long-run figures. Summer heat is the limit here, not winter cold. The first and last hours carry the summer; the middle is slow. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Expect Gaddys Pond to follow that timing. A steady wind fishes better than a still, bright day.

• Tackle & Baits

  Whether the bank is open is not something our records settle. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Frank Little Pond at 1.7 miles is the nearest alternative. Rules at Gaddys Pond are worth checking on the day.
