Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Fish reported in the area, according to open records, include channel catfish, blackbanded darter and warmouth. Treat it as evidence of what swims in the area. Treat Furse Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. Nothing in the way of made access shows up nearby: no ramp, no car park, no path. Catfish want bait on the bottom: cut bait or worms, a simple running rig, and patience after dark. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. Browns Pond sits 0.8 miles off and takes the overflow. Treat Furse Pond as unsettled until someone local tells you otherwise.
