Fargher Pond near Amboy: Fishing Spots, Seasons and Access

• Overview

  In Washington, Fargher Pond falls inside Clark County. The bank gives way to pine and hardwood. About 8 acres of surface, which puts the far bank inside easy sight. The town to know is Amboy, 3.4 miles out. Beyond it, Yacolt at 6.1 miles and Lewisville at 6.7 miles. The line between counties passes nearby, which can change who manages the water.

• Where to Fish on Fargher Pond

  Depth is not on record here, which means reading the ground instead. Look for where the old bank line still shows under the surface. Standing timber shows when the level drops, and fish sit against it. Reported across Clark County: bluegill, yellow perch, black crappie, brown bullhead and largemouth bass. These are county-wide records, so not all of them will be in this water. Fish Fargher Pond where the bottom changes rather than where it looks deep.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The range across the year is 38°F to 64°F. Fishing runs all year, with summer the awkward season. Heat pushes fish deep from June onwards, so start early. June to September is hot work, so the first and last hours are what count. At Fargher Pond the season follows that pattern closely.

• Tackle & Baits

  Ownership and access are not documented in what we hold. We find no slipway, car park or made path within a short radius, so treat access as rough. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Rules for this water may differ from the county norm. Some water is controlled locally without a sign saying so. Fargher Pond, 1.4 miles away, makes the obvious fallback. Treat access at Fargher Pond as something to verify.
