Fish species in Hurlbut Pond

Hurlbut Pond covers 3 acres in the Northwest Hills region. A dependable maximum-depth figure was not found for Hurlbut Pond, so it should not be guessed from a similarly named water.

What to Expect at Hurlbut Pond

Because Hurlbut Pond is only 3 acres, a careful bank-by-bank approach is more useful than constant moving.

Fish and Useful Baits at Hurlbut Pond

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

Bass

Begin the largemouth search on Hurlbut Pond with a moving bait, then pick apart wood or weeds with a worm.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

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

Walleye and Larger Predators

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

A Simple Fishing Plan for Hurlbut Pond

Begin with the most obvious depth change on Hurlbut Pond. Then compare incoming water, the old channel and a point leading toward the deeper end of Hurlbut Pond.

When to Fish Hurlbut Pond

Early spring on Hurlbut Pond calls for a slow presentation near the first break outside protected water. At midday in summer, Hurlbut Pond anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change. Fall on Hurlbut Pond is a good time for small crankbaits and swimbaits around moving forage.
