Koutny Pond was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.

For bass at Koutny, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at Koutny, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish.
For bottom fishing at Koutny, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.
On a first trip to Koutny, 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 Koutny 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 Koutny can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
