Fish listed for Grays River Salmon Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a careful second pass near an open-water edge after warm rain, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a cold winter outing near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a methodical search near a narrow cove before changing depth, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a low-light period near the mouth of a pocket with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During the first hour near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.
While using a quick comparison of two banks near a soft-to-hard bottom change after a cold night, 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.
During the first pass near the mouth of a pocket near visible bait, 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 methodical search near an open-water edge near visible bait, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
