How the Seasons Change Chickawaukie Pond

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

A Simple Plan for Fishing Chickawaukie Pond

On a first trip to Chickawaukie, 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.

Useful Tackle for Chickawaukie Pond

A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Chickawaukie, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
