Largent Bend Pond # 3 is a lake in Cascade County, Montana and covers about 20.86 acres.
The small size of Largent Bend Pond # 3 makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish and Baits
Fish listed for Largent Bend Pond # 3 include Black Bullhead, Black Crappie, Brook Stickleback, Common Carp, Fathead Minnow, Golden Shiner, Largemouth Bass, Longnose Sucker, Pumpkinseed, Tiger Muskie, White Sucker, and Yellow Perch.
Beside the open side of an outside bend, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
Near the firm edge of the old channel, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
Along the steep side of a narrow arm, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
Along the narrow end of an outside bend, soak a worm or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water after sunset for black bullhead.
Other targets listed here include Tiger Muskie, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
How to Read the Water
Around the weed line of a deep bend, 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.
Season by Season
Around the upper edge of a patch of green weeds, 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 shaded side of a steep shoreline, 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 tiger muskie are the target.
Near the gravel lip of a weed bed, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
