• Where to Fish on Two Buttes Pond

  Depth remains unrecorded, so treat the first session as a survey. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Points where the flooded channel swings in are the reliable ones. County-wide records name green sunfish, channel catfish, white sucker and bluegill. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. On Two Buttes Pond the first feature you find is usually worth a session.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Averages here run 78°F at the top of summer and 32°F at the bottom of winter. Some winters cap it and some do not. Hard water here is never dependable, so check for yourself before stepping out. February into May fishes hardest as the water warms. Anyone fishing Two Buttes Pond regularly works to that calendar.

• Tackle & Baits

  We hold no note on access for this one. Public mapping records no formal access here, so plan for a walk and soft ground. For the bass here, soft plastics worked slow along cover and a spinnerbait for searching do most of the work. State or provincial rules still apply whatever the bank status. Access can change hands, so last year's answer may not hold. If the gate is shut, Landsat Number A-44A Reservoir at 12 miles is the nearest alternative.
