What to Expect at Pierce Creek Pond

Fish and Useful Baits at Pierce Creek Pond

Fish reported from Pierce Creek Pond include black bullhead, black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass, and yellow bullhead. Stocking records for Pierce Creek Pond also list channel catfish, though that does not mean those fish will be easy to catch on every trip.

Bass

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

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

For panfish at Pierce Creek, 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.

Catfish, Bullheads and Carp

For bottom fishing at Pierce Creek, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish, and fish a worm or small piece of cut bait in quiet water for bullheads.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Pierce Creek Pond

On a first trip to Pierce Creek, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.

When to Fish Pierce Creek Pond

Spring on Pierce Creek is a good time to check warm coves and incoming water, and summer is best early or late around weeds, shade and the few deeper holes. Fall on Pierce Creek can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
