The actual ramp is circled in Red,  The Parking area is Grass (inside orange circle) where you can pull up to or back up to the fence(yellow)

One of the Best places to fish is upstream at the mouth of the Little river which is ~3 miles up.

Here is a shot of where  the Little River enters the Neuse River.  The Little River being a Blackwater stream usually runs clearer than the Neuse River so there is usually a noticable "mudline" which can be seen in this aerial shot. 

In March of 2023 I made a trip up to the mouth of the Little River in search of Shad.  We caught a few Hickory Shad  in  this video and you can see the river at the mouth of the Little plus in this video I go into more detail with pictures and marking the best places to fish for Shad.

 Fishing Indian Camp Pond 

Indian Camp Pond is a 4 acre Pond Located in Richmond County on the Sandhills Gameland. 

Here is an aerial Photo of the Pond

This 4 acre pond is open to the public for fishing but you must have a NC Fishing license to do so. 

This Pond is a Blackwater Pond and thus stays "clear" all the time never getting muddy.  Fish found in this pond are Largemouth Bass, Crappie(Black) , Bream, Shellcracker , Channel Catfish and during most winters (usually around the 2nd or 3rd week in December) the pond is stocked with trout.

During warm weather the most sought after fish is the Channel Catfish which the NCWRC stocks peridiocally.   They also have a fish feeder installed just for the catfish.  This is done though a program called the COMMUNITY FISHING PROGRAM or CFP.  see it here  https://www.ncwildlife.org/Fishing/Fishing-Programs/Community-Fishing-Program

Here is an aerial photo of the Pond . I have put a circle around the fish feeder which is in easy casting distance of the end of the 2 piers.  50 ' from the 1st pier to feeder and 70 ' from the second pier to feeder. 

Note - this feeder does not dispense food during the winter. 

The NCWRC stocked 1,100 8'' - 12'' Channel Catfish in Indian Camp for 2022.   You can see the numbers for Indian camp and others by searching NC warmwater stocking for 2022 or the year you want to see. 

As noted above During the Winter usually around the 2nd or 3rd week in December the NCWRC stocks trout in Indian Camp. This is a put and take fishery as the trout that do not get caught will die when the water gets too hot for them in the spring.   

Here is a video of them stocking in 2022

Here is an aerial view of the pond and I have put  ''X'' s where I think the best Trout fishing spots are. 

Here are 2 videos of me catching Trout aat Indian Camp.

Here are some cool pictures of the creek below the dam but this creek is too small for any fish of any size, interesting the walls with grooves in this.  I wonder what structure was on here??

Thanks for reading and Looking.  Mack
