Fish live in water. That is water. Fish must be there.

What do you have on your line?

There are definitely fish there. Probably some combination of bass, panfish and maybe pickerel judging by the foliage. Maybe trout if the water is cold enough. Could be any number of other things. Worms and a bobber, gulp or some kind of rubber swimbait would be a good way to start fishing and find out for yourself. Keep us posted.

Keep an eye on a water surface. Get glasses with polarization. You will notice movement in the system. The best time for observation are mornings & evenings(~ 1 hour before sunset). I’d try warms/maggots & bread on small hook as a start. ps. post here your catches.

I like to recommend a normal live worm for people who are brand new. If you throw a worm out where fish are, they will eat that worm, guarantee. That helps you know if you’ve found fish, and that will help you learn where to find them and build some confidence. Then move to artificial.

If the water doesn’t dry out during the summer and has been there for more than a couple years then there will be fish.

Looks pretty fishy to me. Throw an inline spinner or a soft plastic (swimbait,senko,ned rig) and I guarantee you’ll catch something.

Worms, a cork and just sit there a spell with yourself

Stick your hand in the water, if it’s wet.. there’s fish in it. Unless you’re in Florida then it’s gators and some fish

Throw something close to those trees in the water, should be a panfish around.

Toss a bobber with a worm underneath, you’ll find out pretty quick.
It looks great though. The only thing I could see being an issue is if it gets super warm in the summer and there are big algae mats that grow, which can suck out all of the oxygen from the water… and even in those types of ponds you can still have catfish, bullhead, carp, and panfish that survive if its not extremely warm and overgrown.

Look for minnows and fry around the banks in the shallows. Look for little areas that look like someone scooped a circled out of the bed in the shallows (fish make these little frying pan sized beds to spawn and you’ll see them afterwards for a long time)

Usually when you catch one of this spot don’t have, any move on down. You’ll get something.

You smack the water 3 times, real quick. Flat hand, palm down. If your hand gets wet or even damp you’re sure as shit going to find some fish in there.

I do giant solar projects on land in Texas that has little 40′ diameter ponds with no creek or anything that we will drain for the water and there will be fish in them. Birds spread the eggs around via getting caught in feathers and poop. Sometimes there’s giant bass in these veritable large puddles.

Keep casting and don’t stop.

What state/ country are you in? If you live whare you get a hard freeze in the winter the water generally needs to be at leat 15 foot deep for fish to survive the winter.
