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.
Lambert Pond is a lake in Valley County, Idaho and covers about 0.94 acres.
The small size of Lambert Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket under flat light, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a cool spring morning near the downwind side 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 an overcast morning near an open-water edge under flat light, 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.
On a steady fall day near the first break after warm rain, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a simple check of moving water near a shallow shelf where two features meet, 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.
During the final pass near a shaded bank with light wind, 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.
During the first hour near a protected point where food is present, record the wind, water color, depth of the first bite, 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.
