About
Spring Gulch Pond is a small, artificially created fishing spot known for its fly fishing and catch-and-release policy. Anglers often fish near the rocky areas as the pond by the docks is quite shallow, while the pond’s wildlife and natural setting provide a serene experience.
What To Expect:
- 🎣 Fly fishing and lure-only permitted
- 🦆 Catch and release only
- 🌿 Rocky fishing spots with shallow docks
- 🌾 Seasonal algae growth and some weed coverage
Important Information:
- – Access requires a short walk; some paths may have goat head weeds
- – Dogs need protective booties due to thorny plants
- – No stocked bait fishing allowed
