Black Rock Pond is a reservoir in Connecticut, near Naugatuck Valley County.
Stocking records show that the following fish or strains were stocked here. A historical stocking does not by itself prove that a self-sustaining population remains today.
Black Rock Pond covers 9.5 acres in the Naugatuck Valley region. A dependable maximum-depth figure was not found for Black Rock Pond, so it should not be guessed from a similarly named water.
Because Black Rock Pond is only 9.5 acres, a careful bank-by-bank approach is more useful than constant moving.
Fish reported from Black Rock Pond include american eel, black crappie, blacknose dace, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, channel catfish, common carp, creek chub, eastern creek chubsucker, fallfish, golden shiner, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, white sucker, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch. Brook trout, brown trout, and rainbow trout are listed separately as stocked in Black Rock Pond. The stocking entry is a management record for Black Rock Pond, not a promise that those fish will be present at every spot or on every trip.
Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Black Rock Pond largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.
For Black Rock Pond crappie, hold a 1/16-ounce jig or minnow beside wood instead of dragging it through snags. Bluegill in Black Rock Pond are practical targets with a worm or small jig suspended beside shallow cover. Yellow perch in Black Rock Pond are commonly caught with a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm near bottom.
A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Black Rock Pond.
Use the first hour to compare a protected bank with a windblown one on Black Rock Pond. Then compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Black Rock Pond.
On Black Rock Pond, spring fish often move onto protected banks before the open basin warms. Summer fishing on Black Rock Pond is usually best at low light, beside shade or along the outside edge of healthy cover. During fall at Black Rock Pond, revisit creek mouths and main points with baitfish-sized lures.
