Lafever Pond is a lake in Big Horn County, Montana and covers about 0.33 acres.
The small size of Lafever Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Around the sunny side of a windblown shore, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Across the sheltered edge of a creek mouth, 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
Around the shallow corner of a broad flat, 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.
Season by Season
Beside the clean side of a weed bed, 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 windward edge of the old channel, 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.
Across the windward edge of a broad flat, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
