Seemand Pond - Minden, NV

Seeman Pond, situated in Minden, Nevada, functions as a designated urban fishery under the Nevada Department of Wildlife's (NDOW) Urban Fishing Program. This impoundment is systematically stocked with catchable-sized Rainbow Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) during cooler seasons (autumn through spring). Ancillary populations of Channel Catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) and various panfish may also be present, predominantly in warmer months, providing year-round angling opportunities.

Angling methodologies are elementary and highly effective. Conventional bait presentations utilizing PowerBait, worms, or salmon eggs are efficacious for trout. Catfish respond to cut bait or prepared stink baits. Spin casting with diminutive artificial lures (spinners, spoons) also yields consistent results. Optimal fishing periods are dictated by NDOW stocking schedules and species-specific thermal preferences. Accessibility is excellent, characterized by convenient urban location, ample parking, and well-maintained shorelines. Anglers are unequivocally mandated to consult current NDOW regulations concerning specific bag limits and any area-specific provisions, critical for the sustained management of this accessible put-and-take fishery.
