Fish and Useful Baits at Great Meadow Brook Pond

Fish reported from Great Meadow Brook Pond include black crappie, bluegill, brook trout, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, channel catfish, common carp, eastern creek chubsucker, golden shiner, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, redbreast sunfish, swamp darter, white sucker, yellow bullhead, and yellow perch.

Bass

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

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie at Great Meadow Brook Pond respond to a small jig or live minnow beside brush and suspended cover. Use a tiny jig or natural bait under a float when fishing Great Meadow Brook Pond for bluegill and related sunfish.

Walleye and Larger Predators

For Great Meadow Brook 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 Great Meadow Brook Pond
