The Fishpond is a reservoir in West Virginia, near Upshur County.
This Upshur County water is recorded as The Fishpond, a reservoir, with the next shoreline section as the first thing to compare. I would spend the opening part of the trip around one manageable shoreline stretch until the first section gives me a useful clue. A first visit does not need to solve the whole lake, so I would keep the opening plan around one promising shoreline stretch before the nearby water gives me a useful clue.
The useful physical figures for The Fishpond are about 2 surface acres, using the most promising channel edge as the first thing to compare. They give me a sense of how much territory I can realistically cover, while the opening stretch gives me a useful clue still matters more once fishing begins.
Fish recorded for The Fishpond include Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, and Rainbow Trout, with the next shoreline section as the first thing to compare. I would choose one target first and keep that plan in place until the first few casts gives me a useful clue. If bass are the main target, a moving bait followed by a jig or soft plastic is enough to test one manageable section of water before the first section shows me what to change next, using the opening piece of structure as the reason for the next move.
My first plan for The Fishpond would be to fish one promising section of water deliberately and make the next move only after the nearby water shows me what to change next. After the opening stretch shows me what to change next, I would give one sheltered section of water another pass before deciding another part of the lake is better.
