Run Pond is a lake in Sweet Grass County, Montana and covers about 0.8 acres.
Run Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Around the gravel lip of a windblown shore, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Near the shaded side of a protected bank, 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.
Near the soft edge of a deep bend, 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.
Near the steep side of a firm-bottom hump, 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.
Along the inside edge of a creek mouth, 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 current seam of a channel turn, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
