Fish species in Rock Springs 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.

Rock Springs Pond is a lake in Sweetwater County, Wyoming and covers about 1.6 acres.

On a water as small as Rock Springs Pond, one weed edge or deeper pocket can hold much of the day’s activity.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Rock Springs Pond include Arctic Grayling, Channel Catfish, and Rainbow Trout.

For channel catfish, fish cut bait or a nightcrawler on the bottom along a channel edge or warm flat at Rock Springs Pond.

For rainbow trout, cast a small spoon, inline spinner, light jig, or fly through cool water at Rock Springs Pond.

How to Read the Water

On Rock Springs Pond, 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

When fishing Rock Springs Pond, 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.

A Simple Tackle Plan

At Rock Springs 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.

Around Rock Springs Pond, record the wind, water color, depth where the lure was hit, 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.
