When to Fish Nitche Pond

Spring at Nitche Pond favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Nitche Pond, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Nitche Pond become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
