How the Seasons Change Pattee Pond

A Simple Plan for Fishing Pattee Pond

When you first fish Pattee, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

Useful Tackle for Pattee Pond

A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Pattee, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
