Boise Fishing Pond – Caldwell Rotary Pond Park

There are several chains of boise fishing ponds in the Caldwell area called the Rotary Park Ponds. These ponds have a lot of vegetation, and offer some good bass fishing. Shoreline access is limited, so a little kayak, float tube, or other small water craft can help you get to spots on these ponds that others can’t.

This post contains my experience running around and checking out these boise fishing ponds. Plus, the map of where I found some good bass. Also, you’ll find the baits that worked, a video of some of the action, and other details to help you if you want to head out fishing in this area.

Boise Fishing Ponds Best Baits

Boise fishing ponds in the Caldwell area I threw a few different baits around. Really, two baits worked the best for me on this trip. Here is the break down of those baits, how to rig them up, and what gear I used with these set ups to help you catch some fish.

Zoom Fluke Jr

Baby Bass Zoom Fluke Jr is an awesome bait for fishing ponds. Especially, if there is a lot of vegetation. I rig the zoom fluke up weightless texas style on a 4/0 gamakatsu hook. This bait is pretty light so throwing it on spinning rod and reel set up helps you get the best casting distance. The key is to just let it fall into the grass holes, and slowly pull it along. Check out the video below to see how to work this bait along.  

Gavacho Frog

The Bluegill Jackall Gavacho Frog is another great choice for fishing ponds. It produced the biggest bass of this trip. It works great to cover a lot of water, and goes through a ton of junk and cover you find in ponds. This bait works best on baitcasting rod and reel set up to haul those bass out of the junk. The gavacho frog is great because you can walk it or pop it to get those bass to slam it down!

Boise Fishing Ponds Tips & Insights

This was a fun trip, and it helped me learn a lot about fishing ponds for bass. Honestly, I felt like my biggest problem was I spent too much time exploring unproductive water. The first area I landed on was the best.

I was surprised at how many people where out fishing this pond. It would’ve probably been a good idea to try fishing deeper with a drop shot worm or something to find some less pressured fish. Everyone tends to fish along the edge of the banks because that is where the most visible cover is for the bass.
