Midas Pond is a lake in Salt Lake County, Utah.
No reliable acreage is listed for Midas Pond, so begin with visible cover and the first clear change in depth.
Fish listed for Midas Pond include Black Bullhead, Bluegill, Channel Catfish, and Rainbow Trout.
For bluegill on Midas Pond, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.
One direct channel catfish tactic on Midas Pond is to fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat.
Start the black bullhead search on Midas Pond by trying to soak a worm or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water after sunset.
Start the rainbow trout search on Midas Pond by trying to cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water.
Brook Trout, Brown Trout, Cutthroat Trout, Lake Trout, Largemouth Bass, and Wiper have also been stocked here; that proves fish were released, but it does not promise that they are still common or easy to catch.
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; try the strongest cover, then keep line light around small clear-water fish.
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; fish one point at two depths, then try natural colors in clear water.
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; try the windblown bank, then use the same depth on the next similar feature.
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; follow a short creek arm, then make one pass close to bottom.
