Alkali Pond is a lake in Okanogan County, Washington and covers about 9.64 acres.
The small size of Alkali Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Alkali Pond include Brook Trout, Cutthroat Trout, and Rainbow Trout.
During the start of a weather change near a rocky edge under flat light, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During an overcast morning near a channel bend in stained water, 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.
While using a short cover-to-depth check near the outside weed line in stained water, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During an overcast morning near a windblown shore after warm rain, 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.
During a check of nearby water near a quiet corner in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
