Spring Branch Pond belongs to King and Queen County, Virginia. Open plain runs right down to the water. Small at around 24 acres: two anglers spread out cover most of it. For a base, Central Garage sits 11 miles out. Richmond is the closest city, 32 miles away. A county line runs close by, so local bylaws can differ within a short drive.
No depth figure appears in our records, so the bank has to tell you. The old creek line under the surface is the feature worth finding. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. Survey and observation records for King and Queen County include striped bass, white perch and tessellated darter. At least one recorded species is protected in parts of its range; read the local rules before targeting anything. Fish Spring Branch Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.
Averages move between 37°F in January and 78°F in July. Cooler months are the productive ones on most of this water. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to be out. March through May is the strongest run, with October and November a second stretch. On Spring Branch Pond that shapes the whole year.
Access is not recorded for this water. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. Bass water: a Texas-rigged worm near cover, a spinnerbait when you need to cover ground. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. The nearest alternative is Walker Coleman Pond, 0.4 miles out. The position on Spring Branch Pond is worth confirming on the day.
