Fishing Barnnets Pond in Richland County, South Carolina

• Overview

  Barnnets Pond is one of the Richland County waters in South Carolina. The surroundings are pine and hardwood. This is a pocket water of some 9 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. Some 2.1 miles away sits Blythewood, the nearest settlement. Dentsville follows at 8.6 miles, then Woodfield at 9.1 miles. Local rules may differ a few miles either side of here.

• Where to Fish on Barnnets Pond

  No depth figure has reached our records, which makes a plummet useful. Draw-down through summer strips the margins, so follow the water out. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include Carolina darter, snail bullhead, tessellated darter and coastal shiner. Reporting is uneven, so absence from the list means little. On Barnnets Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Long-run averages give July about 80°F and January about 43°F. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. Time your trip to Barnnets Pond by conditions rather than dates.

• Tackle & Baits

  The access position is unclear from public sources. The car has to stay half a mile away, which shapes how much tackle you bring. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Check whether bait restrictions apply before you buy any. For a change of water, Rymers Pond is 0.4 miles distant. Nothing here settles the position at Barnnets Pond for certain.
