A Simple Fishing Plan for McCormick Pond

On a first trip to McCormick, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish McCormick Pond

Spring on McCormick is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on McCormick can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
