The pond is stocked with trout from February through May. It will be stocked again this week with about 1,250 trout, as well as about 200 extra-large brood trout in the 3 to 5-pound range. As a reminder, only one fish over 20 inches is allowed to be kept as part of a 5-fish bag limit. In the spring and summer anglers can also pursue bass, bluegill, and crappie. ‌

This pond is located inside EE Wilson Wildlife Area. Getting to it requires a 1/3-mile walk from the parking area. It has three newly installed fishing piers including one that is ADA compliant. ‌

A parking permit is required, and one can be purchased online or at any ODFW office.
