  Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Across Spartanburg County, recorded fish include bluegill, redbreast sunfish, seagreen darter, striped jumprock and flat bullhead. Records at county level tell you what is around, not what is stocked here. Read Alverson Pond for ten minutes before the first cast goes out.
