Well if you’re already looking at the list, just pick some with good numbers to pond size ratio and go try it. Most of the put and take places that get stocked in fall will fish well even in spring after the thaw. Even on ponds that have had derbies don’t get truely fished out, the catch and release mindset seems to have more and more people not bringing home as much fish. Pressured/educated fish may not be as fast action but they are still there, and hungry. Some places like little O get stocked plenty, but is a slow producer since it’s a decent sized lake and relatively deep with lots of forage.
