Fishing Guignard Pond in Lexington County, South Carolina

• Overview

  Guignard Pond lies in Lexington County, South Carolina. Elevation runs to 243 feet. About 6 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. On size it sits at the modest end of our Lexington County list. The town to know is South Congaree, 3.5 miles out. For a city, Columbia is 12 miles off. The nearest boundary is well away, so one set of rules covers the water.

• Where to Fish on Guignard Pond

  No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Species logged nearby in open biodiversity records include chain pickerel, yellow bullhead, bluegill, margined madtom and spotted sunfish. Local agencies hold the definitive list for this water. At Guignard Pond the first feature you find is worth twenty minutes.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Seasonal averages run from 44°F in January up to 81°F in July. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. March through May is the strongest run, with autumn a second stretch. Autumn steadies things again once the heat lets go. The season on Guignard Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Nothing in our records says who may fish here. Nothing formal is recorded here: no ramp, no car park, no marked path. For the pike, wire up and throw larger lures along the weed edges. Check whether a boat is allowed before you tow one. Where tickets apply, they are sold in the nearest town rather than on the bank. If the gate is shut, Feigles Pond at 1.4 miles is the nearest alternative. Check the position on Guignard Pond before loading the car.
