Pond Lake is a lake in Washington, near Pierce County.
Pond Lake is a lake in Pierce County, Washington and covers about 1.98 acres.
On a water as small as Pond Lake, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.
Fish listed for Pond Lake include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During a careful second pass near a windblown shore while the water is rising, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During a slow shoreline pass near a firm-bottom flat with light wind, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a calm morning near a rocky edge near visible bait, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the start of a weather change near an open-water edge before changing depth, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a cool spring morning near a soft-to-hard bottom change with a slow lure, 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 the edge of deeper water near firm bottom, 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 low-light period near a channel bend before changing areas, 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 short evening pass near a shaded bank with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth where fish bit, 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.
