What to Expect at Schram Pond

Schram Pond was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.

Fish and Useful Baits at Schram Pond

Fish reported from Schram Pond include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, white sucker, and yellow bass.

Bass

For bass at Schram, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For panfish at Schram, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

For bottom fishing at Schram, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and use corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Schram Pond

On a first trip to Schram, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Schram Pond

Spring on Schram is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Schram can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
