Water Ski Pond is a lake in Canyon County, Idaho.
Water Ski Pond is a lake in Canyon County, Idaho and covers about 34.73 acres.
Water Ski Pond can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.
On a methodical search near a windblown shore before changing depth, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the first hour near an open-water edge where food is present, 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 the first break while the water is falling, 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 small search around the first point near a soft-to-hard bottom change beside useful cover, 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.
On a calm morning near the mouth of a pocket 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 the first break after a cold night, record the wind, water color, depth beside useful cover, 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.
