Indian Flat Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
During a warm summer afternoon near a channel bend with a slow lure, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.
During the start of a weather change near the outside weed line near visible bait, begin with one slow bottom presentation and one moving bait, then let bites show whether fish are holding close to cover or roaming open water.
During an overcast morning near a creek-side turn after a cold night, Cutthroat Trout, 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 return to the best bank near a rocky edge while the water is falling, 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 brief open-water pass near a shaded bank while the water is rising, 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 warm summer afternoon near the mouth of a pocket before changing depth, 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 bright afternoon near the mouth of a pocket with a slow lure, record the wind, water color, depth along the best drop, 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.
