For panfish at Kelzer, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill and green sunfish.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Kelzer Pond

When you first fish Kelzer, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Kelzer Pond

Spring on Kelzer 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 Kelzer can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
