Jordan Pond Fishing near Biscoe, North Carolina

• Overview

  Jordan Pond is a Moore County water, North Carolina side. Around the bank it is open plain. Surface area runs to about 8 acres — small enough to read in one session. On size it sits at the modest end of our Moore County list. Biscoe lies 6.4 miles from the water. For a city, High Point is 49 miles off. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Jordan Pond

  Depth is unmeasured here, so let the shoreline guide you. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Across Moore County, recorded fish include pinewoods darter, dollar sunfish, margined madtom, redfin pickerel and bluegill. County data is a starting point rather than a guarantee. On Jordan Pond the quiet end is the one worth the extra effort.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages move between 40°F in January and 78°F in July. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. Late winter often fishes better here than midsummer does. Plan around that when you fish Jordan Pond.

A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Should this one be busy, Candor City Reservoir is 0.9 miles off. Rules at Jordan Pond are worth checking on the day.
