• Where to Fish on King River Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Nearby survey and observation records mention common carp, flathead catfish, longnose gar and shorthead redhorse. That is what has been logged nearby, not a stocking list, so check local rules before you plan around any one species. At King River Pond light and wind decide more than tackle does.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical July readings run about 81°F; by January the average is down near 45°F. There is no frozen season to plan round. October and November give a second good stretch as it cools. November and March are the quiet, comfortable months to be out. The season on King River Pond rarely departs from it.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. Nothing is listed nearby for parking or launching a boat. For the catfish, fish bottom baits into the deeper holes and let them sit. A landowner's word beats anything printed elsewhere. Some stretches are reserved and marked as such on the ground. Should this one be busy, Graves Lake is 1.3 miles off.
