Schultzs Pond is a lake in Beaverhead County, Montana and covers about 2.13 acres.
On a water as small as Schultzs Pond, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Near the sunny side of a shallow saddle, the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
Across the outside edge of a small bay, 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.
Across the calm side of a narrow arm, 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.
Around the calm side of an outside bend, 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.
Near the first edge of the first drop, 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 gravel shelf, record the wind, water color, lure depth that worked, 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.
