Fish species in Dassinger Pond

Dassinger Pond is a reservoir in Stark County, North Dakota, and covers about 1.7 acres and holds roughly 10.2 acre-feet.

The small size of Dassinger Pond makes quiet casts and short moves more useful than carrying a pile of tackle.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Dassinger Pond include Bluegill, and Largemouth Bass.

On this 1.7-acre water, try this for bluegill: use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

Before leaving this small, open reservoir in Stark County, try this for largemouth bass: work a soft plastic, jig, or spinnerbait around weeds and protected cover.

How to Read the Water

When testing depth on this small, open reservoir in Stark County, make one shallow pass and one deeper pass on the same shoreline; that shows whether fish are tight to cover or using the first break.

Season by Season

Around this North Dakota reservoir of small size, spring runoff can add color and pull fish toward fresh water; green weeds and the first drop become stronger summer targets; in fall, follow bait toward points and shallow flats, while winter rewards a slower search.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On a careful pass over this small, open reservoir in Stark County, a medium spinning rod, 8-pound line, a small box of jigs, a few crankbaits, and a simple bottom rig cover most situations; change depth or speed before changing every piece of tackle.

During an opening pass on this small, open reservoir in Stark County, record the wind, water color, productive depth, and cover after a bite; those four notes are more useful on the next trip than a long list of spots that did not produce.
