Fishing forecast (December through February): Highland Glen Park Pond catch rates tend to slow until the south portion of the pond freezes and anglers are then able to fish from the ice. The pond typically freezes early-to-mid December. The pond, however, rarely freezes completely and there's typically open water at the north inlet. We advise anglers to use extreme caution. An ice safety guide is available here. The road and parking lot areas are normally plowed/maintained by Highland City throughout the winter months for pond and trail access. DWR fall trout stocking efforts ended in November, so we anticipate fair fishing for rainbow trout and brook trout this winter. The pond has a good bluegill and green sunfish population, which we think will continue to provide anglers fair fishing through the ice this winter. We recommend using ice flies and small ice fishing jigs tipped with nightcrawler fished deeper, targeting the inner weed line areas. Largemouth bass, wiper and channel catfish are typically difficult to catch through the ice.
