Bank Fishing Report, Clear Pond at Mallard-Fox Creek
Had a couple of hours this afternoon to fish. Went to what I grew up hearing my dad and granddad call Clear Pond on Mallard-Fox Creek WMA. It’s the small body of water behind Nucor separate from the river. Water is pretty shallow, clear and full of grass and brush. I found about a 50 foot diameter area from the bank holding a bunch of crappie. I had to leave biting fish to get home, but did keep 24 and returned probably 10-15 short fish. Largest was 13”. Jig and bobber about 12-18 inches deep, pearl white Bobby Garland and silver/white Crappie Magnet.
It was a unique place to catch crappie with the water being so clear, several fish you could see strike the lure.

That’s a nice bowl full of groceries. Pretty cool fishing areas you father and grandfather fished. I’d love to be able to see fish strike, only seen that a couple of times. Our water is pretty muddy usually. Thanks for sharing.

I've caught some huge Black Crappie in there, but also not gotten a bite on other trips. There's good bunch of grass growing but it's crystal clear to eight feet. You count the pebbles on the bottom, hard to fish usually. Glad you got a bucket full!

Correct about the boom or bust, I’ve been and not got a bite before then a couple days later catch a bunch. And to Hitek’s post yes they have almost a dark green color, really interesting.Originally Posted by Ditch Basser
