The pond is stocked with trout from February through May. The parking lot to the pond will be closed starting Dec. 16 for repairs and improvements. It will be re-opened in time for the first trout stocking of 2025. The pond itself will remain open throughout the construction period and visitors can park at the archery range.

As a reminder, only one trout 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 along an ADA path 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.
