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.

Pemberton Pond 1 is a lake in Powder River County, Montana and covers about 31.7 acres.

Pemberton Pond 1 can be broken down in a few passes: shallow cover, the first break, and the deepest useful water.

Fish and Baits

Along the shallow side of a small bay, 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 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

Along the clearer side of a sand-to-rock change, 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

Near the channel lip of an inlet turn, shallow water is worth a careful look in spring and again during fall; bright summer days favor shade, weeds, or deeper breaks; under ice, a small depth change can be more useful than a long move.

A Simple Tackle Plan

Along the sheltered edge of a steep shoreline, 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 weed line of an open-water break, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
