1st trip to Swofford Pond, planned to fish for shad on Sunday and decided to stop by on my way to Bonneville to see if I could pick up some crappies for some camping fish-fry.
Got there about noon, scouted the new area and decided to focus around the upper and lower Dam where there are deep drop-offs and vegetation's.
Fished with just bobber and jig (tipped with cream colored crappie-nibble), adjust leader anywhere from 3' - 6' depending on water depth.
Caught LMB, big crappie, trout, and bluegills above the Dam/ below it caught a bunch of small crappies and small mouth bass - kept what we could eat/ 3 crappies and 3 trout (shown in pic).

Very cool and unique place - folks out of Mossyrock are very friendly and one of the nicest people that I've met, will definitely pay another visit in the near future.
