Fish species in Gravel Pond

Gravel Pond covers 5 acres in the Naugatuck Valley region. A dependable maximum-depth figure was not found for Gravel Pond, so it should not be guessed from a similarly named water.

What to Expect at Gravel Pond

Because Gravel Pond is only 5 acres, a careful bank-by-bank approach is more useful than constant moving.

Fish and Useful Baits at Gravel Pond

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

Bass

Largemouth bass in Gravel Pond can be searched with a spinnerbait before a Texas-rigged worm is worked through the best cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

A soft-plastic minnow or live minnow placed beside cover is a sound crappie approach on Gravel Pond. For sunfish on Gravel Pond, keep a cricket or tiny jig close to weed edges and shaded wood. For Gravel Pond yellow perch, work a light jig slowly along the first firm-bottom break.

Walleye and Larger Predators

Chain pickerel in Gravel Pond can be found with spoons, spinnerbaits and small swimbaits along vegetation.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Gravel Pond

Fish one shoreline slowly before crossing the water on Gravel Pond. Then compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Gravel Pond.

When to Fish Gravel Pond

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