Fish species in Pole Gulch Pond

Official stocking history

Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.

Pole Gulch Pond is a reservoir in Carbon County, Wyoming and covers about 1.5 acres, and reaches about 9 feet.

The small size of Pole Gulch Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle. With little deep water in Pole Gulch Pond, weeds, wind, and water color can matter more than depth alone.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Pole Gulch Pond include Colorado River Cutthroat Trout.

How to Read the Water

When fishing Pole Gulch Pond, 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

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 at Pole Gulch Pond.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Pole Gulch Pond, 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.

On Pole Gulch Pond, record the wind, water color, depth along the active edge, 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.
