Fish species in Ansonia Reservoir

Ansonia Reservoir is a reservoir in the Naugatuck Valley region, but a dependable acreage figure was not found. A dependable maximum-depth figure was not found for Ansonia Reservoir, so it should not be guessed from a similarly named water.

What to Expect at Ansonia Reservoir

Without trustworthy acreage or depth figures for Ansonia Reservoir, 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 Ansonia Reservoir

Fish reported from Ansonia Reservoir include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, channel catfish, common carp, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, and yellow perch.

Bass

A spinnerbait, square-bill and Texas rig cover the most useful largemouth situations on Ansonia Reservoir.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Slow vertical presentations around wood and suspended cover are dependable for Ansonia Reservoir crappie. Bluegill and other sunfish in Ansonia Reservoir take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Ansonia Reservoir.

Walleye and Larger Predators

A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Ansonia Reservoir.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Ansonia Reservoir

Start where two kinds of cover meet on Ansonia Reservoir. Then compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Ansonia Reservoir.

When to Fish Ansonia Reservoir

Spring at Ansonia Reservoir favors warming coves, feeder mouths and protected spawning banks. Once summer heat settles over Ansonia Reservoir, work the deepest active cover instead of assuming every fish has moved to the bottom. Windblown points on Ansonia Reservoir become worth checking when autumn baitfish move shallow.
