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.

Mill Pond is a lake in Fremont County, Idaho and covers about 0.58 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

During the start of a weather change near a creek-side turn in stained water, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

On a methodical search near a small drop after a cold night, 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 calm morning near a small drop 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.

How to Read the Water

During the final pass near a channel bend with stable weather, 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 one pass beside the best cover near an open-water edge before changing depth, spring fishing starts with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line 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.

On a steady fall day near a protected point with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
