Still Pond

Still Pond is a lake in Putnam County, and on a first trip I would start around one sheltered section of bank and stay there until I get a clear read from the first setup. I would keep the opening plan simple around one straightforward shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I get a clear read from the opening stretch.

Still Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

The useful physical figures for Still Pond are about 6.1 surface acres, giving me enough scale to decide how much water to cover while I work one promising shoreline stretch until I learn something from the first area.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at Still Pond is lightly documented, so I would use a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one manageable section of water and let the first trip stay broad until I learn something from the first adjustment. The best first setup on Still Pond is a simple one around one nearby section of water, and I would leave it alone until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.

A Practical Still Pond Game Plan

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