The pond is stocked with trout from February through May. It will be stocked this week with 1,300 trout. 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 along an ADA accessible path. 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.
