Hansen Pond is a lake in Carter County, Montana.
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.
Hansen Pond is a lake in Carter County, Montana and covers about 5.93 acres.
Hansen Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Hansen Pond include Black Bullhead, Fathead Minnow, Golden Shiner, Green Sunfish, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pike, Rainbow Trout, and White Sucker.
Near the shaded side of a rocky point, cover weeds, shallow points, and flat edges with a spoon or sturdy minnow lure for northern pike.
Around the outside edge of an inlet turn, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Along the sheltered edge of a weed bed, soak a worm or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water after sunset for black bullhead.
Beside the shallow corner of a shaded bank, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
Near the darker edge of a firm-bottom hump, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.
Across the rocky lip of a flooded tree line, 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.
Across the upper edge of a short point, a medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs and small casting baits; add a stronger outfit and a proper leader when northern pike are the target.
Beside the clearer side of the first drop, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
