What do you expect? Azians fished it out!

Not a fish to be seen anywhere in the pond, so disappointing for a stocked pond.

Fished here for about four hours on Friday July 3. Lots of nibbles. But no actual caught fish. Tons of people out. Nice spot. Very loud with traffic noise on 1A.

Went fishing here today, June 8, 2020, tons of trout on the southeast side of the pond, you can see them playing but they don't bite at all

Went here with a family friend and his two kids just after dinner time. Had great fun catching some small stocked trout. Right now is great to take young ones or anyone learning as they'll bite at almost anything but you still need to set the hook to get them on. We watched others catch easily with worms, spinners and even fly rods.

Drilled 7 holes (about 12" of ice) and around the middle and North side of Grotto Mountain Pond for 3 hours. No bites.

Any success ice fishing here??
by Vebs on Jul. 16, 2019
Caught two small whitefish? In a 1 hour span of time on the north side. I did not know whitefish we’re stocked here? Expecting rainbows?





by oldscout on Jun. 13, 2019
Stocked May 13th. friends got skunked 2 days ago.

Any luck? Wondering if they survived the winter?





by Kvo on Apr. 10, 2019
Mostly water. Thin ice around the edges.





by Artemis on Mar. 5, 2019
Ice report - 18 -24 inches in some spots.





by Burgz on Nov. 22, 2018
Ice report-2 inches





by DTiz on Jun. 3, 2018
There for about 3 hours and not a bite. Didn't see anyone else catch anything either. It's close to the highway and rail line so it's loud.
by nict16 on May. 21, 2018
Lots of people. Nothing in about 2 hours. Not even a bite.

Fished from 630 am tell 11 am. Lots of jumpers.no bites. Using spinners and bottom rig. W bait

Lake is about 6 feet deep everywhere except near the north shore. Lake only got 800 trout this year and gets over 50 anglers/day on the weekend. Aint no one gonna catch a thing.
by Claymaker on Jan. 16, 2017
Anyone ice fishing here





by Jbryant02 on Sep. 4, 2016
This pond isn't very good. 3 of us couldn't catch anything in 4 hours. A few bites though. Nice area but too many people. Maybe fished out by now. Really disappointing.





by tkulyk on Jul. 13, 2016
Good action today, biting on spinners. Caught a half dozen rainbows today, kids were ecstatic! There was another couple there that caught a few as well. Worth it as we were in the pouring rain. Looks like it was just stalked, the fish we caught ranged from about 8" to a couple bigger ones around 12". Delicious I must say





by Gromdor on Jun. 29, 2016
Caught 10 fish in about a hour when it was first stocked but it really slows down in June, theres fish but they don't bite. I usually go to the Bow river instead, there's usually no people, the fish are more willing to bite and the fish are usually a tad bigger than the rainbows in the pond, I like the look of brown trout better :P





by Snakedog116 on Apr. 17, 2016
Was out there today for about 3 hrs. Saw at least 10 fish jump, but although there were many people fishing I didn't see anyone get a bite. I sure didn't. I can see how this would be a nice pond once it gets stocked in the spring.





by Snakedog116 on Apr. 17, 2016
Nice little pond.





by EthanAW on Mar. 27, 2016
Are the fish from last year or they stocked it this early?





by general lockjaw on Mar. 27, 2016

Went out today on the north side. Thin ice at the edge. About 4 or 5 inches 30 feet out.





by RisinHero on Sep. 26, 2015
Don't bother fishing here at this time. Wait till they stock this place again





by oldscout on Sep. 10, 2015
my neighbor got skunked a couple of days ago.





by google on Sep. 1, 2015
Anyone been here recently? I haven't been here before and will be coming to try my luck.





by YYCFishSlayer on Jul. 26, 2015
Lots of people fishing here today. Never seen 1 person catch 1 fish. Seen 1 dead fish near shore (14-15 inches). Also seen tonnes of garbage. Clean up after yourselves!!
by jonnybravo40 on Jul. 22, 2015
Lots of rainbows. Use flashy spinners/spoons. Night crawlers for bait.

Forgot to give the stars on my report below!!!





by kristopherbanner on Jun. 30, 2015
I caught 31 trout in 1.5 hours on this pond. Use a Mepps size 2 or a 1/4 oz five of diamonds. I was on a float tube. Shore fishes and fly fishers were having no luck.





by Gromdor on Jun. 3, 2015
Caught 12 fish in two hours yesterday. Only one was bigger than 10" so I only kept the one. Stocked fish are 9" or less typically so they're quite small. Use a small hook size 10 or less with some bait on it and you'll catch a fish. I see people there all the time using these hooks bigger than the fish's head.





by oldscout on May. 15, 2015
Fished there 2-3 hrs on 11 & 13 May. On 11th there were about 12 fishing. A few very small ones were caught in middle by canoeists. I had 1 solid bite the whole time. Had nice time watching bald eagles tho.





by Arif on May. 7, 2015
Thanks. I checked the ESRD site but Grotto is not mentioned there. Anyway I'll try this week.





by snazyevey on Apr. 30, 2015

by oldscout on Sep. 22, 2014
Watched some 15 anglers for about 31/2 hrs with no fish caught. No rises observed either but a nice day for a scenic picnic lunch.

Went yesterday evening around 7pm. Few people were fishing. I saw few fishes jumping, but no bite. There were lots of weed at the bottom of the pond. For the shore casting angler, what type of setup is effective in this pond?
by Danny west on Jul. 5, 2021
Beautiful small clear pond.used light far casting gear .pickeral rig with worm.tried very small spoons Early in the year fish are very small not worth keeping.in fall caught 15 rainbows all grown up from the summer pan sized fish.hard to fish with dogs jumping in the water did notice a huge brood rainbow or lake trout swimming around.can easily get skunked
