Glendale Pond

Glendale Pond is a lake in Multnomah County, Oregon.

The recorded size of Glendale Pond is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Glendale Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, and Largemouth Bass.

During the last hour of daylight near the first break where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.

During a calm morning near a small drop with a moving bait, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.

During a steady fall day near a shaded bank while the water is falling, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.

How to Read the Water

During a quick scouting pass near a windblown shore beside useful cover, 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

During a slow shoreline pass near the downwind side in clear water, spring fishing starts 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

During a slow shoreline pass near the first break while the water is falling, 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.

During a cold winter outing near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait 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.
