Sawyers Pond is a lake in Gem 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.
Sawyers Pond is a lake in Gem County, Idaho and covers about 61.26 acres.
On a low-light period near a clean gravel patch beside useful cover, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline.
Fish listed for Sawyers Pond include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Largescale Sucker, Pumpkinseed, Rainbow Trout, White Crappie, and Yellow Perch.
On a warm summer afternoon near the first break after a cold night, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
On a quick scouting pass near the first break near visible bait, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the start of a weather change near a quiet corner with a slow lure, use a small jig or minnow around brush, weeds, and the edge of deeper water for white crappie.
On a check of nearby water near a firm-bottom flat in stained water, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Channel Catfish, Rainbow Trout, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
Bluegill, Brown Trout, Channel Catfish, Chinook Salmon, Cobow Trout, Cutbow Trout, Lahontan Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, and 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.
During the start of a weather change near a rocky edge while the water is rising, 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 look at cover and depth near a windblown shore under flat light, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During the first hour near a quiet corner beside useful cover, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
On a low-light period near the edge of deeper water near visible bait, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
