The recorded size of Stinkwater Pond is missing; fish one short bank carefully before deciding whether a wider search makes sense.
Fish listed for Stinkwater Pond include Redside Shiner, and Rainbow Trout.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line with light wind, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a warm summer afternoon near the first break before changing depth, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.
During a quick scouting pass near scattered wood while the water is rising, 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.
During a short evening pass near a clean gravel patch where food is present, 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.
During an overcast morning near the first break with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
