Prays Pond

Prays Pond is a lake in Orange County, and on a first trip I would start around one straightforward section of bank and stay there until I see enough in the first setup. I would keep the opening plan simple around one promising shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I see enough in the opening stretch.

Prays Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

The useful physical figures for Prays Pond are about 3.4 surface acres, giving me enough scale to decide how much water to cover while I work one easy-to-read shoreline stretch until I get a clear read from the first area.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at Prays Pond is lightly documented, so I would use a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one nearby section of water and let the first trip stay broad until I get a clear read from the first adjustment. The best first setup on Prays Pond is a simple one around one short section of water, and I would leave it alone until I get a clear read from the first hour.

A Practical Prays Pond Game Plan

I would approach Prays Pond by choosing one sheltered part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I learn something from the first setup. If I learn something from the opening stretch, I would stop searching randomly and fish one straightforward part of the lake properly on Prays Pond. If I find a repeatable bite in the first area, I would make a note of what happened around one promising part of the lake and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Prays Pond.
