Pony Lake is a lake in Lemhi County, Idaho.
No reliable acreage is listed for Pony Lake, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
On a bright afternoon near scattered wood after a cold night, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On a cold winter outing near a clean gravel patch near firm bottom, 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 short evening pass near a protected point near firm bottom, Cutthroat Trout, and Westslope Cutthroat 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 check of nearby water near a soft-to-hard bottom change where food is present, 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.
While using a first shoreline check near a shallow shelf while the water is falling, 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.
On a steady fall day near a windblown shore with a moving bait, 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 last hour of daylight near a narrow cove before changing depth, 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.
