Fish and Useful Baits at Brigham Pond

Fish reported from Brigham Pond include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, golden shiner, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, white sucker, and yellow perch.

Bass

For Brigham Pond largemouth, use a shallow crankbait or swim jig to locate fish, then slow down with a jig or soft plastic.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Brigham Pond should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Brigham Pond bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Brigham Pond should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Walleye and Larger Predators

For Brigham Pond pickerel, cover weed edges with a flashy moving lure and use a short leader when bite-offs become common.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Brigham Pond

Start with the clearest repeatable contour or cover edge on Brigham Pond. Compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Brigham Pond.

When to Fish Brigham Pond

A sunny spring afternoon can pull Brigham Pond fish toward dark bottom, wood and new vegetation. Summer fish in Brigham Pond may feed shallow at dawn before settling beside cover or deeper structure. Cooling water can bring Brigham Pond fish back to points and banks where bait gathers.
