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.

Big Wall Pond is a lake in Musselshell County, Montana and covers about 4.49 acres.

On a water as small as Big Wall Pond, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Around the clearer side of a rocky point, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Beside the outside edge of an inlet turn, 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

Along the channel lip of a firm-bottom hump, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

Around the gravel lip of a channel turn, 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

Near the hard edge 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.

Along the firm edge of a deep bend, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
