Soldiers Pond is a lake in Washington, near Pierce County.
Soldiers Pond is a lake in Pierce County, Washington and covers about 1.24 acres.
Soldiers Pond is small water, so a careful lap around the bank can show most of the useful cover.
Fish listed for Soldiers Pond include Bluegill, Brown Bullhead, Coastal Cutthroat Trout, Largemouth Bass, Pumpkinseed, and Rainbow Trout.
During the final pass near the edge of deeper water beside useful cover, use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets for bluegill.
During the first pass near a creek-side turn near firm bottom, work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover for largemouth bass.
During a calm morning near an open-water edge away from empty shoreline, use a worm on the bottom in a warm, quiet pocket during low light for brown bullhead.
During the last hour of daylight near a shallow shelf with stable weather, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water for rainbow trout.
During a bright afternoon near a channel bend near firm bottom, use wind as a clue; a light push can carry food toward a bank, but hard wind may muddy it, so look for a clean edge near a point or protected pocket.
While using a simple look at cover and depth near scattered wood after a cold night, 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 an overcast morning near the edge of deeper water while the water is rising, 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 check of nearby water near the downwind side in clear water, record the wind, water color, depth of the working lure, 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.
