I-82 Pond 4 is a lake in Yakima 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.
I-82 Pond 4 is a lake in Yakima County, Washington and covers about 36.5 acres.
I-82 Pond 4 is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.
Fish listed for I-82 Pond 4 include Brown Bullhead, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Yellow Perch.
During a calm morning near a small drop with a moving bait, keep a small jig tipped with a worm or minnow close to bottom on a shelf for yellow perch.
During the first pass near scattered wood with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a return to the best bank near a windblown shore in stained water, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
Black Crappie, Brown Trout, Channel Catfish, and 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 a warm summer afternoon near the downwind side where food is present, 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 quick comparison of two banks near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.
During a slow shoreline pass near a narrow cove 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 a creek-side turn under flat light, record the wind, water color, depth that produced twice, 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.
