Look for Lamaster Pond in Oconee County, South Carolina. The bank is 745 feet above sea level. This is a pocket water of some 4 acres, and every part of it is reachable from the bank. The nearest place of any size is Clemson, 2.1 miles away. Pendleton lies 2.1 miles off, Central another 5.1 miles. The county edge is within a short distance of the bank.
Our records hold no depth for this water. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Public occurrence data for Oconee County names bluegill, redbreast sunfish, largemouth bass and turquoise darter. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Treat Lamaster Pond as a water to read rather than to cover.
Seasonal averages run from 41°F in January up to 79°F in July. Temperatures stay workable through the cold season. Shade and hour of day matter more than month. The hot months push the fishing to dawn and dusk. It holds true on Lamaster Pond more years than not. Consistent weather beats warm weather for steady sport.
We have no record of the rules that apply on this bank. Parking is close: a car park sits half a mile from the bank. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Where a permit is needed, the nearest town usually sells it. Night access is frequently treated as a separate matter. Reflection Pond at 1.7 miles is the sensible second choice. For Lamaster Pond, the notice at the access point is the final word.
