Hitch Pond

Hitch Pond is a lake in Blount County, and on a first trip I would start around one manageable starting zone and stay there until I learn something from the first adjustment. I would keep the opening plan simple around one easy-to-read area near the launch and leave it alone until I see a pattern develop in the nearby water.

Hitch Pond Size, Maximum Depth and Volume

A dependable standalone set of acreage, depth, and volume figures is not readily available for Hitch Pond, so I would not guess at them until a reliable lake-specific record provides the figure and would work one promising area near the launch until I get a useful clue from the nearby water.

Fishing This Water

The fishery at Hitch Pond is lightly documented, so I would use a basic first-trip selection of small artificials and a bottom rig around one straightforward piece of water and let the first trip stay broad until I get a clear read from the first setup. The best first setup on Hitch Pond is a simple one around one sheltered piece of water, and I would leave it alone until I find a repeatable bite in the first setup.

A Practical Hitch Pond Game Plan

I would approach Hitch Pond by choosing one short section of bank, one target, and a small tackle selection, then change one variable at a time after I get a useful answer from the first area. If I get a clear read from the first area, I would stop searching randomly and fish one nearby section of bank properly on Hitch Pond. If I find a repeatable bite in the first area, I would make a note of what happened around one manageable section of bank and use that as the starting point the next time I fish Hitch Pond.
