• Where to Fish on Lewis Pond

  Nothing we hold settles how deep this runs. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Held water runs deepest at the wall and shallows back to the inflow. Nearby survey and observation records mention bluegill, longnose gar, Florida pompano, grass carp and southern kingfish. Presence in the area does not guarantee a fish on the day. Lewis Pond fishes better once you know its edges.

There are toilets mapped about 110 yards away. Read any posted signs at the access point rather than assuming. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully.
