B and B Fishpond is a reservoir in Jefferson County, Montana.
Use the shape you can see at B and B Fishpond: check the best cover, the first drop, and one open-water line before moving.
Around the deep corner of a sand-to-rock change, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Beside the upper edge of a broad flat, 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.
Across the current seam of an inlet turn, 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 weed line of a shaded bank, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
Around the calm side of a small island, 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.
Along the deep side of a quiet pocket, record the wind, water color, depth of the first good pass, 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.
