Trojan Pond is a lake in Columbia County, Oregon.
No reliable acreage is listed for Trojan Pond, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Trojan Pond include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Common Carp, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Smallmouth Bass, White Crappie, and Yellow Perch.
During a warm summer afternoon near a quiet corner beside useful cover, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the last hour of daylight near the edge of deeper water away from empty shoreline, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During a short evening pass near a channel bend beside useful cover, use a small jig or minnow around brush, weeds, and the edge of deeper water for white crappie.
During a quick scouting pass near a quiet corner where two features meet, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
Other targets listed here include Smallmouth Bass, Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Common Carp; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line under flat light, Rainbow Trout have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
During a quick scouting pass near the mouth of a pocket under flat light, 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.
During the last hour of daylight near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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.
During the first pass near a rocky edge with light wind, 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 quick scouting pass near a rocky edge with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
