City Pond is a pond in Polk County, Iowa. City Pond covers about 6.3 acres and reaches a recorded 6 feet.
City Pond has an old channel, incoming water and quiet coves, and small water-level changes can move fish from the bank to the first drop.
Fish reported from City Pond include bluegill, channel catfish, and largemouth bass. Stocking records for City Pond also list channel catfish, though that does not mean those fish will be easy to catch on every trip.
For bass at City, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at City, fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish.
For bottom fishing at City, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish.
On a first trip to City, 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.
Spring on City is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is best early or late around weeds, shade and the few deeper holes. Fall on City can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
