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.

Mauland Pond is a lake in Sweet Grass County, Montana and covers about 0.64 acres.

The small size of Mauland Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Across the lower edge of the first drop, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Near the soft edge of a narrow arm, 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

Along the shallow corner of the nearest cove, 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

Along the calm side of a wooded bank, 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

Beside the soft edge of a small island, 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.

Near the outside edge of a windblown shore, record the wind, water color, depth near the strongest cover, 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.
