Bass

For bass at Fisher, fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For panfish at Fisher, use a small jig or minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds for bluegill, redear or other sunfish, and keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.

Muskellunge and Pike

For large predators at Fisher, cast a spoon, spinnerbait or swimbait beside weeds for northern pike.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Fisher Pond

When you first fish Fisher, check one quiet cove, one rocky or firm point and the nearby deep water with a moving lure, then use a jig or worm where you find fish.

When to Fish Fisher Pond

Spring on Fisher is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is a good time to fish shade, weeds and the first drop into deeper water. Fall on Fisher can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
