• Where to Fish on Groendyke Pond Number 1

  There is no published depth for this one, so start shallow and work out. A soft bed grows weed late into autumn, which keeps fish shallow. Bays and points beat straight shoreline every time on water like this. Blaine County records list green sunfish, bluegill, largemouth bass, orangespotted sunfish and common carp among the fish reported. What holds for the county may not hold for this water. Treat this water as a water to read rather than to cover.

  The warmest month averages 82°F, the coldest about 35°F. Whether it freezes depends on the year. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. This water runs to its own calendar within the local pattern.

• Tackle & Baits

  No public source sets out the position on this bank. There is no recorded infrastructure here; expect to find your own way in. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Take the rules with you rather than trusting memory. Fishing rules and camping rules are set separately here. American Horse Lake sits 1.4 miles off and takes the overflow. What applies at this water may have changed since it was mapped.
