• Where to Fish on Thads Pond

  Our records hold no depth for this water. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Across Greenville County, recorded fish include bluegill, redbreast sunfish and seagreen darter. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Thads Pond gives up its fish to patience rather than distance.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Between January at about 41°F and July at about 79°F, the water has a wide range to work through. Long warm spells define the calendar more than any cold. Spring and autumn carry the fishing; summer squeezes it into the edges of the day. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Expect Thads Pond to follow that timing.

• Tackle & Baits

  Public data does not answer the access question here. There is somewhere to leave the car, half a mile off. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Gates get locked out of season on water like this. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. If the gate is shut, Martin Pond at 0.3 miles is the nearest alternative. Nothing on Thads Pond should be assumed from this page alone.
