How the Size and Shape of Tripp Pond Affect Fishing

Fish and Baits at Tripp Pond

Fish reported from Tripp Pond include landlocked Atlantic salmon, brown bullhead, brown trout, chain pickerel, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, smallmouth bass, white perch, and yellow perch.

Bass

For bass in Tripp, use a tube, Ned rig or small crankbait on rock for smallmouth, and fish weeds, wood and shade with a spinnerbait, jig or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.

Perch and Sunfish

For panfish in Tripp, use a worm or tiny jig near weeds and shade for pumpkinseed, and fish a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom for yellow perch.

Pike, Pickerel and Muskellunge

For pike, pickerel or muskellunge in Tripp, throw a small spoon or flashy swimbait along weeds for chain pickerel.

Bullheads

For brown bullheads in Tripp, put a nightcrawler or small piece of cut bait on the bottom in quiet water, especially after sunset.

Trout

For trout in Tripp, use a small minnow plug, spoon or streamer in cool water for brown trout.

Salmon, Lake Trout and Other Deep-Water Fish

For deep-water fish in Tripp, troll a smelt-colored streamer, thin spoon or small minnow plug for landlocked salmon and use a small jig, minnow or worm when white perch gather over deep flats and drop-offs.

How the Seasons Change Tripp Pond

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

A Simple Plan for Fishing Tripp Pond

When you first fish Tripp, 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.

Useful Tackle for Tripp Pond

A medium spinning rod covers most casting at Tripp, while a second rod with enough line and weight to reach deep water is useful for salmon.
