Newton Pond belongs to Delaware's small-pond angling program. At Newton Pond, barbless hooks are required and fishing is catch-and-release except for the separate trout rule at Newton Pond.
At Newton Pond, use a shallow crankbait along firm edges and a Texas rig beside wood, keeping the lure size modest for a Delaware pond. Bluegill in Newton Pond can be caught with a piece of worm, cricket or tiny jig under a small float, especially where shade meets vegetation.
Use a quiet first pass with a moving bait, followed by a slower worm or jig through the best cover. Newton's trout are a seasonal put-and-take opportunity, so check the current stocking schedule before the trip.
