Boney Pond is a lake in Churchill County, Nevada and covers about 9.1 acres.

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

Fish and Baits

The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; match the hook and line to the named target.

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; use one moving lure and one slow bait.

How to Read the Water

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; cast across the break instead of along it, then try natural colors in clear water.

Season by Season

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; start beside the first useful break, then check both sides of the point.

A Simple Tackle Plan

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; check a protected pocket, then return to productive water when light changes.

record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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; use the same depth on the next similar feature.
