Hunters Pond is a reservoir in Washington, near Stevens County.
Hunters Pond is a reservoir in Stevens County, Washington and covers about 3.52 acres.
Hunters Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Hunters Pond include Black Crappie, Bluegill, Brook Trout, Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Northern Pikeminnow, Pumpkinseed, Redside Shiner, Smallmouth Bass, Rainbow Trout, Westslope Cutthroat Trout, and Yellow Perch.
During a warm summer afternoon near a firm-bottom flat where food is present, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During a careful second pass near a narrow cove before changing areas, fish a small jig or minnow around wood, weeds, and sharp little drops for black crappie.
During the final pass near a protected point where food is present, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a methodical search near a creek-side turn where two features meet, drag a tube or Ned rig across rock and the hard edge of a point for smallmouth bass.
During the first pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change in stained water, Other targets listed here include Largemouth Bass, Brown Bullhead, and Rainbow Trout; give each one its own bait and depth instead of trying to catch everything with the same rig.
During a low-light period near a protected point 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 one check of the nearest drop near a windblown shore after warm rain, 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 a methodical search near a creek-side turn with stable weather, 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 steady fall day near a channel bend after warm rain, 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.
