Official stocking history

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.

6030 Pond 1 is a lake in Skamania County, Washington and covers about 4.2 acres.

The small size of 6030 Pond 1 makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

During a low-light period near a shallow shelf close to shade, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During a methodical search near a channel bend with a moving bait, 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.

Brook 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.

How to Read the Water

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.

Season by Season

While using one careful route near a shaded bank before changing depth, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a check of nearby water near a small drop in stained water, 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.

Record the wind, water color, depth of the best pass, 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.
