Fish and Useful Baits at Haggetts Pond

Fish reported from Haggetts Pond include bluegill, brown bullhead, chain pickerel, golden shiner, largemouth bass, pumpkinseed, and yellow perch.

Bass

Low light favors a topwater or spinnerbait for Haggetts Pond largemouth; brighter conditions call for a slower presentation beside cover.

Crappie, Perch and Sunfish

Bluegill and other sunfish in Haggetts Pond take worms, crickets and tiny jigs along shade and vegetation. Keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to the bottom when perch are the target on Haggetts Pond.

Walleye and Larger Predators

A spoon or compact swimbait worked beside weeds is a practical chain pickerel choice on Haggetts Pond.

A Simple Fishing Plan for Haggetts Pond

When to Fish Haggetts Pond

At midday in summer, Haggetts Pond anglers should slow down beside shade, weeds or a nearby depth change.
