Carters Pond is a reservoir in Fergus County, Montana.
Without a dependable size figure for Carters Pond, weeds, rock, water color, and nearby depth are the best starting clues.
Fish listed for Carters Pond include Bluegill, Largemouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, and Yellow Perch.
Around the shallow side of a wooded bank, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Around the inside edge of a channel turn, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
Across the clean side of a firm-bottom flat, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Around the channel lip of a shallow saddle, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Across the hard edge of a sand-to-rock change, 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.
Near the quiet end of a main-lake point, 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.
Near the inside edge of a weed bed, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.
Beside the lower edge of a flooded tree line, record the wind, water color, depth that held fish, 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.
