Lake Pondilla is a lake in Washington, near Island County.
Lake Pondilla is a lake in Island County, Washington and covers about 3.46 acres.
The small size of Lake Pondilla makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.
Fish listed for Lake Pondilla include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near a shaded bank beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During an overcast morning near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change after warm rain, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During a cool spring morning near the outside weed line near visible bait, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a short evening pass near a shaded bank with light wind, 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 protected-water check near a windblown shore before changing areas, early in the year, protected water and the first warm afternoon can be the best clues; as the water heats up, check deeper edges without assuming every fish is on the bottom; cooling fall water often makes points and firm banks useful again.
During a careful second pass near a quiet corner where two features meet, 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 warm summer afternoon near the first break before changing depth, 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.
