Been fishing the Bond Butte pond every so often throughout the winter. It's starting to get into nice shape. Weeds are low but developing. Water temp is up to 50-51 degrees. Water level is as high as I've seen it. Water up into the brush all around the perimeter, and lots of 6-7ft depths.
Fish aren't super active, but I've been managing a nice bass or two each time out. A few more degrees and things should get good as their metabolisms start up and they head into the spawn. Interestingly, I haven't caught any of the 6-9" bass that seems to be everywhere last summer.
Wish there was a second species that had a good fishery going on. Seems to be just bass and small sunfish. I haven't found the catfish or crappie that are rumored to be in here. I like to have a couple things to fish for in a lake/pond/river and this seems to be lots of bass (lots) and not much else.
