Roys Pond is a lake in Mohave County, Arizona and covers about 2.7 acres, reaches about 11.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 12.7 acre-feet.
The small size of Roys Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Roys Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
Fish listed for Roys Pond include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Green Sunfish, and Largemouth Bass.
To begin with bluegill on Roys Pond, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
A useful largemouth bass plan on Roys Pond is to work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
One direct channel catfish tactic on Roys Pond is to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
To narrow down Roys 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.
A direct approach on Roys Pond works like this: 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.
For a first pass on Roys Pond, 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.
When working Roys 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.
