Fish species in Hedrick Mill Pond

Hedrick Mill Pond is a reservoir in Tulare County, California and covers about 1 acres, reaches about 12 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 5 acre-feet.

One weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity; use a light bait when the water is clear, then try natural colors in clear water. With little deep water in Hedrick Mill Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Hedrick Mill Pond include Golden Trout.

How to Read the Water

Make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break; try the first deep shelf after the bank, then use the old channel as a guide.

Season by Season

Shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move; work an old channel turn, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; use a smaller lure in clear water; compare shallow and deeper water.

Record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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; check the clearest edge before moving, then match the hook and line to the named target.
