Big Pond is a reservoir in Iowa, near Clayton County.
Big Pond is a pond in Clayton County, Iowa. Big Pond covers about 90 acres.
Big Pond was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Big Pond include channel catfish, flathead catfish, freshwater drum, and walleye.
For roaming fish at Big Pond, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye.
For bottom fishing at Big Pond, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use live bait near wood or a deep hole for flathead catfish.
Other choices at Big Pond include these plans: bounce a jig, worm or crayfish bait along firm bottom for freshwater drum.
On a first trip to Big Pond, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
Spring on Big Pond is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Big Pond can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
