Post Falls Park Pond is a lake in Kootenai County, Idaho and covers about 0.62 acres.
The small size of Post Falls Park Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
On a short evening pass near a shaded bank near visible bait, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the final pass near a shaded bank close to shade, 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.
During the last hour of daylight near a windblown shore with a moving bait, 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 first hour near a small drop while the water is falling, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
Season by Season
While using a first shoreline check near a soft-to-hard bottom change before changing areas, 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 bright afternoon near a shallow shelf 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 careful second pass near scattered wood away from empty shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
