Simpkins Pond is a lake in Wake County, North Carolina.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Anglers looking at Wake County will find Simpkins Pond, a lake; I would give one promising part of the lake a fair chance and resist moving until I find a repeatable bite in the first few casts. A first trip should leave me with something specific, so I would stay around one easy-to-read part of the lake until I find a repeatable bite in the nearby water.
Reliable acreage, maximum depth, and storage figures are hard to verify for Simpkins Pond, so I would leave those numbers open until an official reservoir report documents the value and fish one manageable part of the lake until I find a repeatable bite in the first hour.
The fish community recorded at Simpkins Pond includes Bluegill and Largemouth Bass, which makes a single target fish a practical way to start around one nearby starting zone until I see a pattern develop in the first setup. For bass on Simpkins Pond, I would use one moving bait and one bottom-contact bait around one short starting zone, changing only when I see a pattern develop in the first adjustment.
My first plan for Simpkins Pond would be to fish one sheltered area near the launch deliberately and change one part of the plan before the rest only after I get a useful answer from the first few casts. When I get a useful answer from the nearby water, I would stay around one straightforward area near the launch on Simpkins Pond and build the rest of the trip around that pattern. If I get a useful answer from the first hour, I would count that as a successful first visit and come back to Simpkins Pond with one promising piece of water already on the short list.
