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.

Lone Tree Pond is a lake in Blaine County, Montana and covers about 3.7 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Around the rocky lip of a small bay, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Along the hard edge of an outside bend, 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

Across the deep corner of a protected bank, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

Around the open side of a protected bank, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Near the clean side of a sand-to-rock change, 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 weed line of a patch of green weeds, 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.
