Hourglass Pond is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah.
Hourglass Pond is a lake in Duchesne County, Utah and covers about 14.5 acres, reaches about 12.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 71.5 acre-feet.
Hourglass Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
The fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; work the best shade during bright hours, then test the drop before leaving.
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; begin near moving water, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
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; keep a bottom rig ready for low light, then add vibration in stained water.
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; test the clearest edge, then check the first shelf outside shallow cover.
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; fish the first useful drop, then let a light jig fall beside the break.
Record the wind, water color, productive depth, 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; cast across the break instead of along it, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
