I love Ward Road ponds. The only down side is watchig I-70 traffic zooming by. Other then that the fishing is great. Once the temp rises, the bass will bite. I have seen very few poeple out there fishing. Good place for a belly boats. I suggest using plastics. Tubes, Carolina rigs, jigs with plastic crawls, etc all work very well. Go down the trail from the parking lot, turn left and walk untill the trail begins to curve around the lake to the right. There are a few down trees creating structure. Fish the trees while heading back to where you came from, and you will do well. Once it heats up, then jump in the belly boat. Catch and release only, and no bait. Good luck!!!
