Fish species in Cherry Creek Pond

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.

Cherry Creek Pond is a lake in Prairie County, Montana and covers about 1.99 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Cherry Creek Pond include Fathead Minnow.

How to Read the Water

Across the inside edge of a channel 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.

Season by Season

Near the outside edge of a shallow saddle, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Along the rocky lip of a sand-to-rock change, 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.

Around the soft edge of the old channel, 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.
