No reliable acreage is listed for May Day Pond, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for May Day Pond include Tiger Trout.
Start the tiger trout search on May Day Pond by trying to cast a small spoon, spinner, minnow lure, or fly along cool rocky edges.
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; note the exact cover that gives a bite.
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; use a light bait when the water is clear, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
In spring, start 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; use a slow bait after the search lure, then fish the same shape nearby.
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; work an old channel turn, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
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; try deeper shade during summer afternoons, then give low-light water a slower bottom pass.
