Fish species in Rost Pond

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.

Rost Pond is a lake in Fallon County, Montana and covers about 2.11 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Rost Pond include Brown Trout.

Beside the open side of a deep bend, work a small minnow bait, spoon, or streamer along cool breaks and moving water for brown trout.

How to Read the Water

Around the quiet end of a quiet pocket, 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

Near the deep side of the first drop, 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 windward edge of a short point, a light spinning rod, thin line, a few small spoons, inline spinners, and jigs cover the listed trout; carry one slightly heavier setup when other fish or windy water call for more control.

Around the channel lip of a firm-bottom hump, 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.
