Childrens Pond is a lake in Blaine County, Montana and covers about 18.12 acres.
On a water as small as Childrens Pond, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish and Baits
Across the channel lip 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.
Near the inside edge of a channel 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
Near the shallow corner of a wooded bank, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
Season by Season
Near the deep side of a main-lake point, 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 current seam of a weed bed, 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.
Near the calm side of a protected bank, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
