First time to the I-82 ponds, and will probably be my last. It was horrible. The shore access was poor, as the Russian olive trees have created an impenetrable thicket in most places around the periphery. The pond is thick with milfoil, making fishing difficult. There were some bluegills in the weed beds, but they were small, and exceedingly unenthusiastic about biting. Perch seemed non-existent. Nobody else was catching much, either.

I tried flies under a bobber, tipped with worm bits, worms, etc. The fish would peck, but not bite.

It might be better if one had a jonboat or pontoon boat, as you could actually access the lake.

Very displeased about driving an hour one way from the Tri-Cities to explore this place. Yuck.
