A Simple Fishing Plan for Troost Pond

On a first trip to Troost, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Troost Pond

Spring on Troost is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Troost can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
