Jordan Pond is a reservoir in California, near Alameda County.
Jordan Pond is a reservoir in Alameda County, California and covers about 4 acres, reaches about 17.7 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 30.1 acre-feet.
The small size of Jordan Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Jordan Pond include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Green Sunfish, Hitch, Largemouth Bass, Sacramento Blackfish, Sacramento Pikeminnow, Sacramento Sucker, and Rainbow Trout.
Start the bluegill search on Jordan Pond by trying to use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
The first largemouth bass pass on Jordan Pond should work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.
For channel catfish on Jordan Pond, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Start the rainbow trout search on Jordan Pond by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Other targets listed here include Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig; check a protected pocket after sunrise, then move only after checking the nearby drop.
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; use a slow bait after the search lure, then test the drop before leaving.
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; check the clean side of wind, then give shaded water a separate pass.
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; match lure size to the fish; use a slow bait after the search lure, then fish isolated cover before a long empty edge.
Record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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 a protected pocket, then make the next cast parallel to the edge.
