Aurora Pond is a reservoir in Ohio, near Portage County.
Aurora Pond is a pond in Portage County, Ohio. Aurora Pond covers about 345 acres; a reliable maximum depth figure was not found.
Aurora Pond was made by holding back a river or creek, making the old channel, bends and quiet coves sensible places to begin.
Fish reported from Aurora Pond include black crappie, bluegill, channel catfish, common carp, gizzard shad, largemouth bass, white crappie, and yellow perch.
For bass at Aurora, fish weeds, wood and shade with a jig, spinnerbait or Texas-rigged worm for largemouth.
For panfish at Aurora, use a small jig or live minnow beside brush for crappie, and fish a worm, cricket or tiny jig near weeds and shade for sunfish, and keep a small jig, minnow or worm close to bottom for yellow perch.
For bottom fishing at Aurora, put cut bait, chicken liver or a nightcrawler on bottom for channel catfish, and fish corn or dough bait on a simple bottom rig for carp.
Spring on Aurora 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 Aurora can bring fish back to windy points and banks, while winter calls for smaller baits fished slowly.
On a first trip to Aurora, check incoming water, one bend in the old channel and a point near deep water with a moving lure, then slow down with a jig or worm where you get a bite.
A medium spinning rod with 8- to 10-pound line handles most jigs, worms and small lures at Aurora, while a medium-heavy rod is better for bass jigs and heavier bottom rigs.
On Aurora, pick one cove and the closest point or drop into deep water, then fish that small area well before making a long move.
A reliable depth number was not found for Aurora, so anglers should rely on what they can see and what their lure touches.
Black crappie is on the fish list for Aurora, so start with a bait made for that fish instead of guessing at a species that may not be there.
