Fish species in Pond B

Pond B is a reservoir in Ward County, North Dakota, and covers about 77.8 acres, reaches about 95.5 feet at its deepest point and holds roughly 2,383.5 acre-feet.

At Pond B, a point, weed edge, or small drop is more important than simply covering the whole shoreline. Deep water at Pond B gives fish room to move away from shore as summer heat and bright light build.

Fish and Baits

Fish listed for Pond B include Bluegill, Northern Pike, Walleye, and Yellow Perch.

On this 77.8-acre water, try this for walleye: work a jig and minnow, a live-bait rig, or a small crankbait along points and the first drop.

Near the 95.5-foot deep point, try this for yellow perch: keep a small jig tipped with a minnow or worm close to the bottom on a flat beside deeper water.

To keep things simple on this small, deep reservoir in Ward County, try this for northern pike: cover weed edges and shallow points with a spoon, spinnerbait, or minnow-shaped lure.

On this deep water in Ward County, try this for bluegill: use a small jig, worm, or tiny plastic around green weeds and protected pockets.

How to Read the Water

Across this small Ward County reservoir, start where two things meet: weeds and open water, rock and mud, a point and a drop, or clear water and dirty water; fish that edge at more than one depth before leaving it.

Season by Season

On this Ward County reservoir with deep water, in spring, start with warming banks, creek mouths, and shallow cover; summer usually pushes the better bite toward the outside weed edge or a nearby drop; fall can bring bait back to windblown points, while winter calls for smaller moves and a slower pace.

A Simple Tackle Plan

On this small Ward County reservoir, a medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs and small casting baits; add a stronger outfit and a proper leader when northern pike are the target.

Within this small reservoir in Ward 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.
