There is a lot of wildlife around the pond

Arizona Pond - Ophir, OR (Curry County)

Warmer weather and increased aquatic vegetation has made for tough fishing. Evenings or early mornings tend to be better as the trout are out of the vegetation and in the more open water and the wind is typically calmer. A bobber and worms, fly fishing, spinner fishing are all good options to catch fish.

There is a lot of wildlife around the pond, so if fishing is slow, it is always a good place to take a lunch break and watch the wildlife.
