Fish species in Huntington Pond

Huntington Pond covers 15 acres in the Western Connecticut region. A dependable maximum-depth figure was not found for Huntington Pond, so it should not be guessed from a similarly named water.

What to Expect at Huntington Pond

At 15 acres, Huntington Pond is small enough to fish methodically but large enough for one shoreline to differ from another.

Fish and Useful Baits at Huntington Pond

Fish reported from Huntington Pond include black crappie, bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, longear sunfish, rainbow trout, and yellow perch.

Bass

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

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Crappie anglers on Huntington Pond should count the jig down beside brush until the holding depth becomes clear. A small float, light line and a piece of worm are enough for Huntington Pond bluegill around cover. Perch anglers on Huntington Pond should stay mobile until several bites come from the same depth.

Walleye and Larger Predators

For Huntington 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 Huntington Pond

Start with a moving lure, then slow down on the best feature on Huntington Pond. Then compare vegetation, shaded shoreline and firm-bottom changes around Huntington Pond before searching open water.

When to Fish Huntington Pond

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