Fishing Perrys Pond in Nash County, North Carolina

• Overview

  Set in Nash County, Perrys Pond is a North Carolina water. Country round the bank runs to dry hill. Surface area runs to about 4 acres — small enough to read in one session. Our Nash County list holds plenty of bigger water. Spring Hope is the closest town at 9.9 miles. After that come Zebulon at 12 miles and Lucama at 12 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Perrys Pond

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Fish documented in Nash County include bluegill, Carolina madtom and margined madtom. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. On Perrys Pond the obvious spot is not always the productive one.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 78°F; by January the average is down near 40°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Late winter and spring fish steadiest here. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. On Perrys Pond that shapes the whole year.

• Tackle & Baits

  We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. A wire trace and a big bright lure handle the pike; deep water asks for a heavier spoon. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Morgans Pond, 1.1 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Check the position on Perrys Pond before loading the car.
