Ice House Pond belongs to King and Queen County, Virginia. The sea is 11 miles distant. Roughly 31 acres: a morning covers one end, an afternoon the other. Head to Central Garage, 11 miles away, for anything you forgot. It is 32 miles to Richmond, the nearest city. It sits near the edge of the county, so check which rules apply.
Open data we checked carries no depth for this water. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Levels move with the draw rather than the rain on water like this. Across King and Queen County, recorded fish include striped bass, white perch, tessellated darter and American eel. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Ice House Pond that means starting tight and working out.
Typical July readings run about 77°F; by January the average is down near 36°F. Winter is a mild inconvenience here, nothing more. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. Ice House Pond fishes to that pattern most years.
Nothing we hold confirms whether access is permitted. Nothing built is recorded close to the bank here. Largemouth respond to soft plastics tight to cover; go weedless where the growth is heavy. Sort the permit out before you load the car. Close seasons apply to some species and not others. Walker Coleman Pond, 0.6 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Confirm before you fish Ice House Pond.
