  Depth went unrecorded, which puts the reading back on you. Rip-rap along the wall holds fish that the open bank never does. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. Species logged across Humboldt County include brook trout, rainbow trout, mountain sucker and great basin cutthroat trout. County records show the wider picture rather than this one place. Dufurrena Pond Number Twenty responds to conditions more than to tactics.
