• Where to Fish on Mc Kinzie Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. This is tidal water: the state of the tide decides where fish sit, so plan the session around it. Look for the band where the shallows give up and the bottom falls away. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Several of these carry legal protection or closed seasons; the rulebook comes before the rod. The shape of Mc Kinzie Pond decides where the fish sit.
