Yes it is...at least for me the times I have been out there I catch bass, bream, and crappie...also before they drained it down mostly 6 or so years back that pond had a very abundant supply of catfish. I would go everyday before class at John Tyler and fish, and catch catfish left and right off that back bridge. I had a bass break my line there too!
The best fishing is near the road - its deepest out there all along that bank.
