Not a lot of fishing in the desert and you wouldn't expect a fishing pond near Beatty, but...
Who would have thunk it, but at a recent Beatty Town Advisory Board meeting it was announced that the Department of Wildlife had stocked Bombo’s Pond with 1,000 trout. The plan is to stock trout every year in October or November for winter fishing. A fishing license is required, with trout stamp, and the limit is three trout in possession per day. The pond, located beside Highway 95 at Vanderbilt Road, is named after Ted “Bombo” Cottonwood, who created the pond just before he retired as Beatty foreman for the county road department in 1997. The county was using gravel from the site.
