Wind River Logging Co Pond is a reservoir in Skamania County, Washington and covers about 130 acres and holds roughly 130 acre-feet.

Wind River Logging Co Pond is compact enough to fish slowly, but a change in weeds or bottom can still split it into separate patterns.

Fish and Baits

During the final pass near a shaded bank away from empty shoreline, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During a warm summer afternoon near a small drop after a cold night, 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.

How to Read the Water

During a slow shoreline pass near the outside weed line with light wind, do not let the deepest number control the whole day; nearby cover, firm bottom, and food usually matter more than the deepest hole by itself.

Season by Season

While using a quick comparison of two banks near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During a careful second pass near a quiet corner in stained 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 the first pass near the edge of deeper water with a moving bait, record the wind, water color, depth where fish were holding, 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.
