Dam Pond is a lake in Columbia County, Washington.
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.
Dam Pond is a lake in Columbia County, Washington and covers about 1.4 acres.
The small size of Dam Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Dam Pond include Yellow Perch.
During a check of nearby water near a windblown shore beside useful cover, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a calm morning near the mouth of a pocket where food is present, 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.
During the first pass near the downwind side near firm bottom, 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 first shoreline check near a quiet corner near visible bait, spring fishing starts 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.
During a short evening pass near scattered wood in clear 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.
During a cold winter outing near the outside weed line with light wind, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
