Medco received its third rainbow trout stocking last week of 3,100 fish. Fishing should be very good but temperatures will be up a bit this weekend. Medco Pond is at 3,054 feet elevation and located between Butte Falls and Prospect. Trout fishing will be best in the morning. 

As the day heats up, this can be a great little pond for bluegill fishing with kiddos. Try fishing a nightcrawler on a #4 hook or smaller under a bobber.  A red/black/white choronomid fly is also a tempting target for feisty bluegill along the shore.  This can be fished with spinning gear under a bobber/bubble or with a fly rod. Boat based anglers are still picking up some nice largemouth bass. 

Medco Pond is a private pond and access can be revoked at any time. Medco receives 15,000 fingerling trout in the fall that should also be catchable size by now. To help keep access open, anglers should make sure to pick up their trash, as well as other trash when they are there. The owners of Medco have restricted vehicle access to along the roadway because of vandals and dumpers. If you see someone doing something that may risk access for everyone, please let ODFW know.
