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.

Filer Kids Pond is a lake in Twin Falls County, Idaho and covers about 0.2 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

During the last hour of daylight near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a moving bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On a low-light period near a creek-side turn with light wind, 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 slow shoreline pass near a shallow shelf after a cold night, 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 careful second pass near a rocky edge before changing depth, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

While using a short pass along useful shoreline near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, 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

On a steady fall day near a clean gravel patch while the water is falling, 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 slow shoreline pass near the mouth of a pocket with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
