Do you know what's in the pond? Not all ponds have bass, but most at least have sunfish. Depending on the pond, some have trout, catfish, walleye, etc, but for the most part it's just bass, sunnies, and the occasional crappie. I'd suggest walking the entire edge of the pond with polarized glasses on to get a feel for what's happening in the pond before tying on. Look for any current whatsoever, even if it's just a trickle, fish tend to congregate here. This is usually in the form of a spring feeding the pond or an overflow pipe/dam. Beyond that just look for any structure or where you see fish. Pond fish usually aren't picky, so i'd fish topwater just because it's fun and you can. Small poppers and terrestrials for the sunnies and larger poppers for bass. If that doesn't work you can always throw buggers in various sizes. Have fun.
