Benders Pond is a lake in Maricopa County, Arizona and covers about 1 acres, reaches about 10.1 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 4 acre-feet.
The small size of Benders Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Benders Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Benders Pond include Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout.
To begin with largemouth bass on Benders Pond, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
To begin with rainbow trout, cast a light spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
To begin fishing Benders Pond, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
For the next pass on Benders Pond, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
To narrow down Benders Pond, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
While fishing Benders Pond, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
