Super secret pond

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Heading up to my cousins tomorrow on my annual geoduck trip and have the early part of the day to waste
....
Thought I'd bring my trout rod and catch a few planter trout on the way.
.
So I checked the weekly plant list.
.
There is a pond listed that received recent plants..
Only 700,  but it caught my eye..
.
I cannot find ANY references to this pond, other than plant list
.
I've googled,  I've Onxd,  I'm sending emails to both the wdfw and the hatchery that did the plant..
.
Almost wondering if it was just a swimming pool in a parking lot..
.
I have located several ponds in the area, but all on private land.
.
#1 , I didn't think they listed plants for those pools.
#2, I didn't think they listed plant for private use on the wdfw website.
#3, the name of the pond shows up in several pdf documents,  but I still cannot find it on a map!
.
.
Just to avoid any conflicts,  I have not mentioned the name.
.
It's easy to find out.
.
Wdfw weekly plant lists..
.
And that is the end of my trail..
.
I found roads that share the same name..
I have a relatively small search area..
.
But honestly...
.
I found some good places to scout for bear and deer, state land and locked gates...
But only ponds are on private land.
.
Yet the wdfw planted it...
.
It's a ghost...
.
I didn't want to ask on Facebook.
.
I'm just mystified.
..
If the wdfw plants it with "catchable" trout, shouldn't there be a place to catch them?
.

I probably won't get an answer to my emails until after my trip, but am.awefully curious.
.
It's listed.
Yet has no location.
.

Some small bodies of water may have two names. One may reflect the past and no longer in use.

I’d like to help but I’m not searching 900 plus lakes
How about a county ?

Just to avoid an issue,  I will not reveal the county.
.
It's 30 days.
.
Find one in your county.
.
If you are not local, you probably won't know

[Ridgeratt]

You have to differentiate between the quality of the fish, whether it's a put and take size or fry. Fry could be several hundred in a quart jar.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Again.
It is a simple search.
Only 3 places have been planted in the last 30 days in that  county.
.
Its between Chehalis and hood canal.
.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Yeah, Im not going to get flamed for ruining a spot.
.

[ASHQUACK]

I believe that the property owner (timber company) allows access to certain pieces. I'd call their main office and clarify if they do or don't for that particular piece.

It's right along the road it shares the name with.
No real access unless you have a float or kayak.. there's like 50' of fishable water along the road edge..
Lots of lillies. It's narrow but long. Better fishing in the back portion.

Yup

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Planters are cool, but 3-4 years are magical.
.
And this pond exhists...
Probably full of as many punkin seeds and "scrap fish" than I can eat
.
..
It's fishing.
.
I'd love to catch a trophy,  but really just want a dinner

50' is accepted.

.
Location?
.
Pm.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I just want to look at it
.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

If it doesn't work?
.
OK.

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

It's just a drive by.
I don't care about catching.
I just want to find access to try.
.
And if I cannot catch something

..
Who cares?

This is what I was thinking too. Didn't take long to find it. Not sure what the secret is... 

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

And honestly,  probably catch a bunch of spiney rays for entertainment

Then there's..
Please share. no secret?

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

I just want legal access.
.
I'll worry about catching fish .
.
I  can do that.

[fishngamereaper]

I sent u a Pm

I've fished it off and on for over 20 years and it's not my go to for catching.
And shore access is non existent..to brushy.
It's either fish the road or float it.

.
I appreciate your information.
.
.
I still want the location for my records.
.
.
Good/bad. Waste of time..

My issue is this place does not exist on my map.
.
.

I just want to look at it .

[MADMAX]

I PMd you the road name
Use Google maps
It’s right there at the start of the road on both sides

It’s no secret around here

Beware
It’s an area not to leave a vehicle with gear/valuables in it

[STIKNSTRINGBOW]

Thank you to all that responded.

I came, I saw, I chose to pass.
...
I see the reason it's not a popular destination
..
Although there was someone with a pontoon fishing it..
