Fish and Useful Baits at Pony Creek Lake

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

Crappie and Sunfish

For panfish at Pony 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.

Walleye and Open-Water Fish

For roaming fish at Pony Creek, jig a minnow or troll a crankbait along points and deeper edges for walleye, and use a shad-colored swimbait, spoon or trolling lure around open-water baitfish for wipers.

For bottom fishing at Pony Creek, put cut bait, a nightcrawler or prepared bait on bottom for channel catfish.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Pony Creek Lake

On a first trip to Pony Creek, 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 Pony Creek Lake

Spring at Pony Creek 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 at Pony Creek can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
