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.
