Official stocking history

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.

Anderson Pond in Rosebud County is a lake in Montana and covers about 4.03 acres.

Anderson Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Around the inside edge of a deep bend, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Beside the deep side of an open-water break, 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.

How to Read the Water

Beside the channel lip of a windblown shore, 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.

Season by Season

Beside the channel lip of a broad flat, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Beside the calm side of a creek mouth, 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.

Across the lower edge of a steep shoreline, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
