• Where to Fish on Sunday Creek Coal Company Pond 9420-0

  There is no recorded depth, so work from what you can see. Weed, then depth: that is the order to fish a water of this kind. Where the bottom changes texture, fish gather; find that line. County-wide records name orangethroat darter, johnny darter and white sucker. Those are county-wide records, so not every one of them will be in this water. Fish this water to its features, not to its size.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Average temperature peaks around 73°F in July and bottoms out near 28°F in January. Seasons here are moderate, and the fishing runs most of the year. It is not guaranteed from one year to the next. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. It holds true on this water more years than not.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing on record says whether the bank is open or closed. No slipway, car park or made path shows up nearby in mapping, so treat access as rough. Bluegill and other panfish take small jigs or worms under a float near any cover. Where the road in crosses private land, ask first. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Failing this one, try Seimer Pond, 1 mile away. Treat access at this water as something to verify.
