Spatterdock is abundant along much of the shoreline in the back half of the pond, especially during the summer months. A bright green coloration in the water during July indicates the presence of a blue-green algae bloom, but fishing is not usually impacted.

Coursey Pond Description
Discover Killens Pond's scenic sister pond, Coursey Pond, and the majestic beauty of the Murderkill River, which connects the two. This pond is in Killens Pond State Park.The shoreline just north of the boat ramp is a popular bluegill concentration area in late spring and easily accessible to shore anglers. Several citation largemouth bass and black crappie are taken from this pond each year. Chain pickerel are not abundant, but some citation-size ones have been taken. A fish ladder was installed to allow river herring access to freshwater spawning areas during the spring.River herring use the fish ladder to gain access to the pond during the spring months. It is unlawful for any person to fish within ten feet of the entrance or exit of a fish ladder or remove fish from any ladder between March 15 and May 30. This regulation was passed to protect the river herring from harvesting while they are confined in the fish ladder. Coursey Pond is a 58-acre impoundment, located in the central part of the state 3 miles south-west of Frederica, DE.
