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.

Pecks Pond is a lake in Fergus County, Montana and covers about 1.02 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Beside the deep side of a firm-bottom flat, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

Near the darker 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

Near the narrow end of the old channel, 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

Near the darker edge of a gravel shelf, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Along the outside 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.

Near the sheltered edge of a windblown shore, 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.
