Havent fished this pond in a while but I can say the few times I did it was amazing. Hardest thing is getting access to the pond.
The MDIFW stocked largemouth bass into Wards Pond in 1961. This introduction was successful in establishing a good bass fishery. Smallmouth bass and black crappie have subsequently established from unknown origin.
Late summer water quality is fair for resident warmwater fish. The pond thermally stratifies during the summer, but it develops a severe oxygen deficiency, which seasonally limits habitat for resident fish and severely limits opportunities to manage for coldwater fish. Competition and predation from existing populations of warmwater fish further diminish the opportunity to manage for coldwater fish.
Traditional access occurs over privately owned property, which could be terminated in the future. There is a need to develop public boat access.
