Powells Pond

Powells Pond is a reservoir in Moore County, and on a first trip I would start around one sheltered section of bank and stay there until I learn something from the first adjustment. I would keep the opening plan simple around one straightforward shoreline stretch and leave it alone until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts.

Powells Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Powells Pond, so I would not guess at them until an official lake survey confirms the number and would work one promising shoreline stretch until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at Powells Pond is lightly documented, so I would use a compact mix of live bait plus one or two simple lures around one manageable section of water and let the first trip stay broad until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour. The best first setup on Powells Pond is a simple one around one nearby section of water, and I would leave it alone until I see a pattern develop in the first setup.

A Practical Powells Pond Game Plan

I would approach Powells Pond by choosing one short part of the lake, one target, and a small tackle selection, then make only the changes the first few bites justify after I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment. If I get a useful answer from the first few casts, I would stop searching randomly and fish one sheltered part of the lake properly on Powells Pond. If I get a useful answer from the nearby water, I would make a note of what happened around one straightforward part of the lake and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Powells Pond.
