Anderson Pond in Golden Valley County is a lake in Montana and covers about 5.1 acres.
On a water as small as Anderson Pond, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Around the windward 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.
Near the shallow corner of a patch of green weeds, 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.
Beside the outer drop of the old channel, 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.
Beside the lower edge of a quiet pocket, 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.
Near the clean side of the nearest cove, 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.
Beside the lower edge of an open-water break, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
