Fish species in Dallis Pond

Dallis Pond is a reservoir in Sussex County, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. Dependable maximum-depth and storage-volume figures were not found for Dallis Pond, so those measurements should not be guessed.

What to Expect at Dallis Pond

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Dallis Pond, the safest approach is to read the water in front of you instead of assuming it fishes like another lake with the same name.

Fish and Useful Baits at Dallis Pond

Fish reported from Dallis Pond include black crappie, bluegill, chain pickerel, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow perch.

Bass

When largemouth bass hold tight to cover on Dallis Pond, a compact jig or weedless worm is more useful than repeated open-water casts.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For Dallis Pond crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Dallis Pond are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Dallis Pond are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.

Chain Pickerel

For Dallis 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 Dallis Pond

Begin with the first clear depth change, then test nearby wood, weeds or rock instead of making random casts on Dallis Pond. Then compare the incoming-water end of Dallis Pond with the dam side and any point that reaches the old channel.

When to Fish Dallis Pond

On Dallis Pond, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Dallis Pond is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Dallis Pond, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
