Fishing Quarry Pond in Walla Walla County, Washington

• Overview

  Quarry Pond is one of the Walla Walla County waters in Washington. The ground round it is dry open country. Surface area runs to about 9 acres — small enough to read in one session. The nearest place of any size is Finley, 4.3 miles away. Burbank is 4.8 miles and Highland 8.3 miles. A county boundary sits nearby, which can matter for local access rules.

• Where to Fish on Quarry Pond

  The records we hold are silent on depth, so plan to find it yourself. On a natural lake the weed line and the shelf beyond it do the work. Still water like this holds fish on the edges rather than out in the open. Fish documented in Walla Walla County include Chinook salmon, Coho salmon and bluegill. Some of the species recorded here are protected or tightly regulated, so check what may be targeted before you fish. On Quarry Pond a short move beats a long cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  The warmest month averages 73°F, the coldest about 34°F. The calendar is generous: something works in nearly every month. It should never be assumed safe, whatever the month says. The cooler months are the comfortable ones to fish here. That shapes the year on Quarry Pond. Nights draw in quickly late in the season, so plan the walk back.

• Tackle & Baits

  The rules here are undocumented as far as public sources go. Quarry Pond Handicapped Parking gives parking 130 yards away. There is a mapped landing stage 130 yards away. A small crankbait along the drop and a worm in the thick stuff cover the bass. Local rules can differ across the county line, so check where you stand. Some ground is open by custom rather than by right, so tread carefully. The nearest alternative is Curlew Pond, 1.1 miles out. None of that is settled for Quarry Pond in what we hold.
