Tidwell Pond is a lake in Utah, near Sevier County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Tidwell Pond is a lake in Sevier County, Utah and covers about 9.9 acres, reaches about 11.3 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 44.7 acre-feet.
Tidwell Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover. With little deep water in Tidwell Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.
the fish mix here is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch; check the clean side of wind, then match the hook and line to the named target.
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; work the best shade during bright hours, then use a moving lure to search.
Brook Trout, and 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; make the next cast parallel to the edge.
Use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket; check the downwind corner for food, then work the bottom where the bank turns steep.
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; check the clean side of wind, then watch for food before choosing lure depth.
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; start where bait gathers, then look for a second bite before leaving.
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 any bait found near the surface, then use wind to narrow the search.
