Windsor Waterski Pond is a reservoir in Thurston County, Washington and covers about 125 acres and holds roughly 100 acre-feet.

Windsor Waterski 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 a slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change after a cold night, the fish mix is not confirmed, so check fresh local information before choosing a target or keeping a catch.

During a low-light period near a creek-side turn close to shade, 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 warm summer afternoon near a shallow shelf after a cold night, 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.

Season by Season

While using a short cover-to-depth check near a windblown shore with a slow lure, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

During the start of a weather change near a narrow cove under flat light, 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 slow shoreline pass near a soft-to-hard bottom change near firm bottom, record the wind, water color, depth where the bait worked, 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.
