McDevitt Pond is a lake in Ada County, Idaho.
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.
McDevitt Pond is a lake in Ada County, Idaho and covers about 1.33 acres.
The small size of McDevitt Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
On a bright afternoon near scattered wood before changing depth, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a careful second pass near a shallow shelf under flat light, 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.
Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, Smallmouth Bass, and Yellow Perch 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 bright afternoon near a quiet corner after warm rain, 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.
While using a point-to-pocket comparison near a shaded bank in stained water, 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 first pass near a narrow cove before changing depth, 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 start of a weather change near a protected point close to shade, 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.
