Fish species in Craft Pond 2

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.

Craft Pond 2 is a lake in Carter County, Montana and covers about 13.49 acres.

Craft Pond 2 is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Craft Pond 2 include Green Sunfish, and Rainbow Trout.

Across the shallow corner of an open-water break, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.

How to Read the Water

Around the lower edge of an inlet turn, 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

Beside the open side of a small island, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Along the outside edge of a steep shoreline, 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.

Across the rocky lip of a rocky point, 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.
