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.
Yankee Fork Lower Dredge Pond is a lake in Custer County, Idaho and covers about 0.18 acres.
On a water as small as Yankee Fork Lower Dredge Pond, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
During the last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf where two features meet, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
On an overcast morning near a protected point in stained water, 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 slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat with light wind, 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.
On a return to the best bank near the edge of deeper water near visible bait, 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.
While using a point-to-pocket comparison near the downwind side under flat light, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
On a cool spring morning near an open-water edge after warm rain, 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 return to the best bank near a firm-bottom flat near visible bait, 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.
