Pickard Pond was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Pickard Pond include bluegill, channel catfish, and largemouth bass. Stocking records for Pickard Pond also list channel catfish, though that does not mean those fish will be easy to catch on every trip.
For bass at Pickard, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at Pickard, fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish.
For bottom fishing at Pickard, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish.
On a first trip to Pickard, 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 Pickard 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 Pickard can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
