Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Fenn Pond is a lake in Idaho County, Idaho and covers about 0.95 acres.

The small size of Fenn Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

On a bright afternoon near a quiet corner where two features meet, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During the first hour near a shaded bank before changing areas, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.

On a check of nearby water near the downwind side with a moving bait, rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.

How to Read the Water

On a steady fall day near a protected point with a moving bait, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

While using a simple check of moving water near a protected point with a moving bait, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the start of a weather change near the first break with stable weather, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

On a cold winter outing near a narrow cove in stained water, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
