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.

Moore Pond 1 is a lake in Carter County, Montana and covers about 9.57 acres.

On a water as small as Moore Pond 1, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Around the shallow corner of a shaded bank, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Around the shallow side of a short point, 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 soft edge of a short point, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.

Season by Season

Across the sheltered edge of a shallow saddle, 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 quiet end of a firm-bottom flat, 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 firm edge of a small island, record the wind, water color, water depth at the strike, 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.
