The 0.2-acre Cedar Pond in Mohave County is a lake in Arizona and covers about 0.2 acres, reaches about 8.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 0.8 acre-feet.
The small size of Cedar Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Cedar Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish and Baits
For the next pass on Cedar Pond, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
When the bite is slow on Cedar Pond, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
How to Read the Water
While fishing Cedar Pond, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and stained water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
Season by Season
The early check on Cedar Pond should stay simple: spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
A Simple Tackle Plan
A useful start on Cedar Pond is simple: a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.
After a bite, write down wind, water color, productive depth, and cover; that short note is more useful next time than a pile of spots that did not produce.
